There is at least one other thread where this has been discussed. It's pretty sure to be bogus - IIRC the details were the date doesn't make sense, if it was for real there would be better pictures (esp of the certificate), and it wouldn't have appeared relisted on ebay numerous times.
This is at least the third time around for this oddity.It might be P.T.Barnum selling it.(there's a sucker born every minute)
There is no way this guy can actually authenticate this. The history timeline as well as Jesse's nom de guerre dont match what this guy claims.
I'm surprised eBay police haven't squashed this one yet. I've seen it come up at least 3 times.

And it's not just razors he's trying to rip people off with.

Well, afterall Jesse was a thief wasn't he? So he probably stole razors, plenty of them and he used them all himself so obviously these are all authentic.
I guess he reads posts here! The other items have all vanished.
Yeah, this thing has made it's rounds on the bay a few times. I've also seen a few Roy Rogers blades but have no idea at all of they're authentic - but then I really only care about the blade anyway so never really looked at the auction once I saw it was not my grind or point.
