[QUOTE=MODINE;1773091]Here is a vintage NOS TI Le Scintillant. Unfortunately the etching on the blade had to be removed due to pitting. It is possible that the acid etching process caused the pitting since the other side of the blade was flawless. I'm interested in the performance of the steel and am familiar with this blade.

However the attached partial paperwork came wadded up in the box with the blade. "Hint" Always check for paper work folded up at the bottom of your box. Even if its old newspaper it may have a date or some form of information.


Certificate probably used to wrap new razor. Ripped and shoved in the bottom of the box to keep razor from rattling back and forth. This razor had never been honed. So who all is checking out their razor boxes now? Mike

I have found several certificates in coffins that way.
