I would second that.
And you don't even get the $10 bill!
Bt he took it to a local pawn shop to verify it is silver. How can you not trust that? :rofl2:
No way sterling,It's platinum without question:)
O.K., I'm in. :beer2:
I've never had a platinum razor before. :shrug:
Looks kind of like cast aluminum. To be pedantic, he said that he took it to a pawn shop to confirm that it was silver. I guess this could mean that he took it there intending to get confirmation, but is not telling the result :p
Meh, "platinum razor"... I've got hundreds of PLATINUM RAZOR BLADES!!!Quote:

yea, that's aluminum. Sterling always has a hallmark on it somewhere. Also, sterling doesn't tarnish like that.
wow he gots feedback that negative comment but they marked it as possitive so weird.
would that razor take a fine edge. some rust near the edge.Quote:

Sometimes you just have to sacrifice like I did on my bid & toss in the $13.78.
Must save the capital for wiser buys.
I collect silver and gold, and that is not silver.
It looks like pewter. Its probably not even plated.
Even it was sterling, the German sterling standard is 80% whereas everyone else is 90-92.5%
Pixel said that it was platinum for sure. :popcorn:Quote:

It's aluminum handle. IMO.
Another fact is interesting for me: I've seen three or four similar razors/handles during the last month on eBay.

I've never went for the $ but in years past I've seen a number of sterling silver scaled W&B and Joseph Rodgers with hallmarks on the scales. Most had ornate figuring cast into the scales but some were smooth. The figured pieces were quite attractive to me. I imagine the balance would be heavy towards the scales when shaving.
That looks like someone raided the silverware drawer and fashioned some scales.:idea:Quote:
