Dont these look a little fishy?
4X Palmera 26mm 8 8 Straight Razors Get A Custom Set of Scales 12 28 12 | eBay

Dont know him personally, but he has been selling razors on the bay for a long time, and often has some nice items.

I do recall when he had that auction, but it was a "your choice of one of these"
I have seen this same ad for "last one" before, but I assume it simply never sold the last time he posted it at the price he was asking.

i think it says only one left again , one with semi translucent horn scales

The blades themselves look legit. A little misleading in the way he represents the whole ordeal however. I guess it's always buyer beware and be sure to check for, and read the fine print.

i've bought from this seller many times. Each time has been fine. the ad actually used to have a "how many you want buy" box, but since 3 of the 4 are gone, it does look odd with the "4x" in the title.

He is pretty responsive IMHO and apparently set up a site you can find in some ads.

I was thinking that it was for 4 of them! Also it seems like the blade stamping is poor quality and if you look closely at the pics the finish on the tang is poor, all the Palmera ive seen look high quality! must be me.
Definately missleading, but if you look at the seller other items, looks like a lot of nice razors.

I agree it's misleading.

i have a couple of these examples (and other palmeras/filles, JMP, etc) and the stampings are fine in comparison to other palmeras or spanish blades, its definietly a different style of stamp font though.

I Know Dom well,He is 100& legit as are the Blades,they came from a dealer in portugal who had a very large cache of them,Some of which I was able to get.
They are the finest razors I have ever used (disclaimer)I have no interests at all in his auction items.
That being said the scales were all wonky form being stored for decades.
I re-did all mine in Ivory.

Pixelfixed, is the finish on your Palmeras, the same as this one?
