Faux C-MON on e-bay

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices


That one just sold for $60 plus shipping, not a bad price for a real C-MON Blackie which is what the scales are from...
But that is a Mis-match I would guess at an Imperial blade but not positive...

I glanced at that one myself, then saw the blade and removed it from the watch list. Interesting thing is that I just honed a razor with the exact etch on it this morning. It's a A.W. Wadsworth & Son, Germany. On the same side as the etch it has "Pathfinder" stamped into it. Felt like good steel though, a lot like some of the harder American steels.

Most definitely not a C-Mon...hope it wasn't one of our "guys" who got ripped for the $60.00

I have seen that Eagle Etch on quite a few different brands even from different countries, I always wondered what the story was behind it????

Kinda always thought it was used as a catch for importing to the US :)

I'm assuming you saved the image and renamed the file before posting it?
Otherwise the filename is a dead giveaway. :P
I tried enhancing the tang stamp in Photoshop, but there's not enough resolution there to determine the maker.

I'm curious about where the improved eagle stamp came from too.

More than likely one of the German mfg's made many of them for other/different companies who were importing razors & selling them under their name. I agree, probably just a selling point...I do like the eagle though.

No Maxi, It's a A.W. Wadsworth...

I have seen more than one rebranded razors with that same etch.

I wasn't so much looking at the etch. I do realize that the etches are identical. I was looking at both the amount and placement of the stamp on the tang. Dead centre of the tang, and at least two, maybe three lines of text.

I have no doubt that etches were shared, and are probably on numerous different razors.
