    Look at the point on the original & look at the point on the copy... slightly different

    I just spotted a fake razor in a Tucson antique store this afternoon. The blade looked like stainless steel, and had the Shakespeare bust and quote "as keen As is the razor's edge invisible" lightly etched in black-low quality etching and the blade looked brand new and not ground right for a razor. No tang stamps or other markings at all. The scales were thick white plastic and looked cheap. Pakistani, I fear! I have an ivory scaled Thomas Turner with the same bust and quote, but there is absolutely no comparison between the two. Fake!!!

    Check out this thread here on the 'damascus' razors on USA ebay. The guy says he is the maker in Pa. but the scales on one of his look remarkably similar ..... at least to me they do.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
