The discription says...

The blade shows some wear with some nicks, otherwise in nice shape.

mmmm looks like a crack to me what say you all?

Looks toasted to me!

D,

I believe you are correct. Scroll to pic 7 of 10, and if you look really hard, you'll see it from the backside.

Good for scales and the inlays I think.

I recently bought a small lot of shaving stuff off of the bay, turned out one of the blades has a massive crack down the middle, very dissapointed....

by no means do i have a professional eye, but that blade doesn't look too good.

This is the answer I got from the seller.

"Hi, Im no expert but there is no crack in the blade at all. There is some
ware but otherwise it is usable if sharpened, Best, Kevin"-top_2006_seller

If you're going to bid you may want to ask him yourself. He does state in the description he offers a refund.

Gentlemen:

That poor razor looks to have been clobbered in the Battle of the Bulge. "I'm no expert," says the gentleman selling it. I would take him at his word and retreat.

Regards,

Obie

+1 on that!

If the guy says he doesn't know what he's doing the best bet is to avoid. There's definately a crack there.
