    Never would have known that in a million years....thanks....will keep my eyes open.

    Managed to grab this wonderful addition, a Filarmonica EPBD the other day, and now my Filarmonica's have their own drawer, right beside their Sheffield friends, and I blame you for this Jamie!

    Thanks - it looks like a nice find...oh...and a correction, I blame YOU equally for helping me discover how awesome these blades are...I now enjoy deciding whether to use a Sheffield or a Spanish razor, and when the turmoil gets to crazy, I just grab a French frameback!

    Watched from the side-lines with lots of interest.
    A great looking set.

    Gentlemen,

    Here is a question for you Filarmonica experts. At what period were the razors issued with Filarmonica Doble Temple 13 stamped on the shank rather than ground? The blade etching also reads Filarmonica Doble Temple. Thanks.

    I would not call myself a consummate Filarmonica expert, more of an enthusiast, but to my knowledge and based on what I have read on the Spanish forums, those blades were made around 1989-1990 right before the factory closed it's doors. It is said that those blades were made in Pakistan.
