I have some experience with buying NOS razor. Once I bought one and it came with a crack on the handle. I wrote an e-mail to the seller(Italian), who promised to make change. I sent him back my razor and after two weeks received another NOS with the same brand name. And I'm sure that was another razor, simply the seller has many NOS razors. I'm sure this razor was newly made. There is one more argument, supporting my theory. Price. Just compare, cost of new Dovo razor is 120-250$, Price of NOS is almost the same, sometimes cheaper. How can it be? Rare collectible item in the same price as newly made razor. It must be 3-5 times more expensive. But sellers seems happy to get 150$ for their rarity.
