Real or FAKE?!?!
So i haven't ever seen the "F" on the end of the tang do you think this is a legit NOS filarmonica or just a good looking Fake??

Duh, it's F for FAKE of course!
But no, I think it's real.

Couldn't tell ya, the opening bid already took it out of my ballpark. But judging by the seller's feedback and the fact I recognize some of the names of his customers, I would probably guess it's real. My Filarmonica does not have the "F" at the end of the tang, but who knows, maybe mine is fake.
Why doesn't the taco truck drive around the neighborhood selling tacos & margaritas???

Yeah, that looks like the real deal to me.
I have a few, and none of mine has that F. Not sure what that does there.Bjoernar
Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

Now when I think about it, I may recall seeing Henckles with that F too, maybe another part of the #14 blanks mystery...

I think its a poorly stamped 'P'. I've had a few with '14P' or 'P' before. Maybe an early para profesionales blade.

To the best of my knowledge, no one has presented an actual fake razor here. There are lots of crap razors, even some beautiful crap razors, crap razors which claim to be made in Solingen but were actually created in East Crapizakistan, but no fakes. It's just to difficult to do for little return. If there have been fakes, I've simply missed them.
Don't get hung up on hanging hairs.

Looking back the title is a little accusatory, which was not the intent. Just having done a lot and I mean A LOT of research on filly's I haven't come across anything that mentions an "F" stamp on the tang and figure maybe someone here had
