How was it authenticated ?
I really question that sort of thing.
The framing is probably worth more than the razor itself.

Thanked: 143For $5,800.00 you think they would have giant hi-rez pictures. Unless maybe it is a piece of junk.

The "Jesse James" razor pitch reminds me of Mark Twain's definition of a gold mine, which is: "a hole in the ground with a liar standing next to it."

Another of Mark's was," There are lies, there are damn lies and then there are statistics."
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Here is part of what Mark Twain had to say about barbers, and a link to the e-text. It is hilarious!
Read the collected works of Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens).
More E-texts
About Barbers
by Mark Twain
a.k.a. Samuel Clemens
(1835-1910) All things change except barbers, the ways of barbers, and the surroundings of barbers. These never change. What one experiences in a barber's shop the first time he enters one is what he always experiences in barbers' shops afterward till the end of his days.

"and I rose indignant and quitted the shop, to keep from falling into the hands of No. 2; for I have none of that enviable firmness that enables a man to look calmly into the eyes of a waiting barber and tell him he will wait for his fellow-barber's chair."
well I guess that answers it
very good read linked to there Croaker !!!!!!!

Thanked: 586The razor has a 1830 engraved on it. Jesse James was born in 1847, when the razor was already 17 years old. Let's assume Jesse bought his first razor when he was 15 that razor would have been 32 years old. WHy would he carve his initials on an old razor when he didn't do that to his guns or his saddle?
I'm not buying.
