Does it have a "H" engraved on the other side on the tail near the scale?

It has a 7 stamped there from the looks of it. It does not look engraved, more of a stamp.

And ya my wife rocks. She is a Jewler by trade and love working in metals, so we are kinda sharing and learning from one another. I was happy when I could buy my wife a torch for christmas ! How many other women would get excited about a torch or flex shaft for christmas gifts

Yeah a stamp, still the letter H here though =)

I went on eBay yesterday, and thought to myself, "I wonder if there are any heljestrands on eBay". So I found several and bid on one that was sitting at $0.99 (150237427508) and won it for $12.50 including shipping. No patience really, just happened that way - either lucky or like someone said they're easily found. Others that were in obviously better condition have been selling for a lot more. I hope it'll sharpen up, if not I still think I could easily get back what I paid for it. I'll post a photo when it arrives.

Oh yeah, it's coming with a Niazi box. Odd.

Yes I was debating till the last moment on this and the other one but decided I've got way too many razors and don't need to get every single good deal
The ivory mk 31 sold for 150 though.

Not if they're listed in the wrong category.

i don't think this is ivory though. let us know when you get it though (if you got it). will probably clean nicely.

I forgot you could search by category - that's a good way to miss a great deal I think. I used to peddle toy trains and found several great buys from nondescript titles that were posted in poorly chosen categories.
