A filarmonica I might be able to afford!
Except I wouldn't want it.It's chopped and ground to a fare-thee-well.An inch short and 1/4" too narrow.

"...is original and has not been retouched..."
...since I ground down the point, sanded the rust off the tang, and used a solvent to clean the scales that melted down the relief!
Yuck.

I understand that not everyone is an expert, I'm not one, but common sense should say that something terrible has happened to that razor.

Everyone put it on your watch list and give the seller a thrill. Untouched. Right.

"I AM NO EXPERT IN THE TOPIC" indeed.
Whoever originally did this would have used a paint roller on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. What tragic butchery - ruin the buttery steel, yet preserve the cheapie scales.
