Whats unsettling is the other razor he is selling is Pakistani!

Thanks for the info.

I have one, here is a link.....
C-Mon Filly Shorty - a set on Flickr

I had to shorten the blade because it was cracked.

I've got one too. A 5/8 and it is a good shaver. As should be expected, but it ain't any better than many other lesser known brands. Say that to say, if you want a good shaver they are but if it goes too high dollar wise remember that it is the collectible thing and not because it is "all of that."

Are these CMON Filarmonicas rare? I haven´t seen one until now.
Would I be right in guessing that they were mainly imported into the US?

Only slightly off topic......
I just purchased a CMON Friodur which I was quite excited by: Square Point 451 with Henckels Friodur case.
Anyone seen / have one of these?

They are not the most common out there, but there are a few of us who has one or more.
Mine is a bit different, it is a full inch wide in white Filarmonica scales.

Edit:
Added a picture of it.

My guess is that you got a Friodur rescaled with C-Mon Blackie scales. The Filarmonica/C-Mon I have, and others I've seen, have the Filly scales, both brands marked on the tang, and on the box. I could be wrong though, I was wrong once before. As for being rare, I don't know about rare but I would say they are not common.

On further inspection I am inclined to agree with you. This Friodur 451 has two sets of twins, as is found on other 451´s with no mention of CMON on the tang.
The box has only the 451 Friodur mentioned. The pin holding the blade to the scales looks vintage enough but the blade length is almost 1cm (3/8 in) short of the wedge. On the good side, both the blade and scales are in great condition.
Thanks for the no BS JimmyHAD

My favourite razor with my favourite cream, a beautiful pairing!
