Franc Swaty??
So I was browsing ebay when I came across this: FRANC SWATY ALUMIN RAZOR-HONE/BOX & INSTRUCT JUGOSLAVIA - eBay (item 360162012219 end time Jun-18-09 10:26:28 PDT)
I thought it was just a typo in the description at first, but it really does look like it says Franc Swaty on the hone! It's different than the regular Swaty as it was made in Jugoslavia, not Austria. But it comes with the regular Swaty instructions it seems....
Anyone seen one like this before?

In the middle of the instructions, there is a mention of "Francis Swaty..."maybe a son/grandson?

I wonder if it is a knock off, somebody put with appropriate papers?

According to this post, it's an alphabet thing. The Z does not exist so it's a substitution. The Yugoslavian Swatys are just fine. I've got one and it's no different than the Austrian ones.
