    I think as it stands at $202 dollars that's a good price for the Filarmonica, but the C. V. HELJESTRAND ESKILSTUNA MK No. 32 at $449 is way over price in my opinion.

    "milky white colored scales are crafted from that special natural material that is not bone." for the Heljestrand. I guess that is ivory which cannot be called such because eBay will not allow it.

    24 bids and $449 is insane - with 3 days to go. Who are these bidders???

    To be fair, that's probably one of the best condition MK 32s I've ever seen. And if I remember, one sold for about 1,000 a couple of weeks ago. Maybe they're the new filly

    I just finished honing one for a forum member this weekend, almost identical to the one on the Bay, including Ivory scales, I know what he payed for the razor and it and it was nowhere near those kind of prices.

    One thing that I have noticed, is a large number of the razors that are hitting insane prices, all seem to be located in Romania.
    Perhaps there is a law that prohibits import of blades, so the supply there is extremely limited?

    Also curious on the Filly, its billed as NOS Mint. But I dont see any Doble Temple gold wash on the blade.

    Were there blades made without this? or has this simply been polished up, and the description is mistaken?

    Description is not mistaken.
    Some of them was made without gold wash - for Japanese market if I am informed well.
    Few of these was sold over SRP ads year ago - also without gold wash.
