I posted about a TI i won. And then i thought, is this really a TI or has babelfish mistranslated the auction description.

Then i couldn't find the delete button in the edit page.

So is it a TI?

and btw i live in England, but i am Irish, thanks!

no, as far as I can tell from the description of the seller it's an eskiltuna
(at least that's what he says is engraved on the blade)

so it seems to be an eskiltuna razor with a thiers-issard coffin?

Yes, that is the realisation i came too. Bit sneaky to label the auction coupe chou Thiers issard!

I believe that the blade is TI but either the scales or the coffin belong to an eski but my understanding of French is HIGHLY limited.

what it means

ancien rasoir "coupe chou"
ancient straight rasor

sur la boite sont gravés rasoir specal gnome extra pour barbe dure et 69 surmontée
d'une couronne THIERS ISSARD garanti (elle est en etat d'usage)
on the box is engraved "rasoir specal gnome extra pour barbe dure et 69" mounted by a crown (some kind of symbol?) "THIERS ISSARD garanti " (condition used)

sur la lame ; ERIK ANTONBERG un poisson ESKILSTUNA RANTISWEDEN
on the blade: ERIK ANTONBERG a fish(probably also some symbol) ESKILSTUNA RANTISWEDEN

le manche est en bois noir
the scales are in black wood

Ok, is it any good?

The title ANCIEN RASOIR THIERS ISSARD "COUPE CHOU " is misleading, no?

I feel a fool! Wonder if i should skip it and take the negative.
