Hope you are starting to see the pattern. Best of luck, Kelly

Gday mate I agree the wood one looks like a Pakistan razor I've seen on line before and the other looks like hone wear in the spine if not a paki also

If are able to wait a couple of weeks until I am home again as I am interstate in Bathurst
I can hook you up with a resonable PIF str8 to get you started or a decent keeper even
I am on limited internet access every couple of days if that. So no pics etc sorry.
As I am on my ipad not lappy
Cheers Dion

They're junk.

Thanks for all the input guys, I will definitely be steering clear of those.

The one with wooden scales looks like those made in China, also the tang is too long for an antique razor, I agree with Bejay. I have 9 straights, 1 is a Christmas present, 2 I bought out antiquing with my brother (whom I can thank for my RAD) and 6 I bought on my own after doing research on here and advise from said brother.
