    Now guys!! Were entering the realm of 'is it real or is it a expert Eastern knock-off'?
    When these razors were selling for 100 or 200$ I'd agree that 'good really well done copies' weren't worth making. But at 3 or 10 or 25 thousand $. I'd really think we're looking for the need for 'real' appraisals and letters of authenticity !

    That razor has has some huge, beautiful ivory scales. I wish I could afford it, but then customs wouldn't let it in.

    Don't forget the 20% buyer's premium.

    Beautiful razors, disgusting buyer's premium practice, though. Wonder how much the auctioneers take from the seller's proceeds, too.
