Here's a Fricot Gran Filo that I saw on Ebay Spain. It measures 24.9 mm. It looks really similar to a Doble Temple:

Here's an Henckels 14 Guillermo Hoppe full hollow 7/8 that's just come in for honing not mine another forum member and friend Huw, but I might give the razor a whirl on Sunday you could say perks of the job. :-)

@ celticcrusader: Thanks for sharing those pictures, it's a beauty!
Are you sure it's half hollow? This question I ask as I don't know any Hoppe 14's that are other than bellied hollow. Same goes for the Henckels 14's.
In both pictures I even imagine seeing a reflection of the "belly"?
Please tell us what your experience is after you gave it a try and how a Hoppe 14 compares with other razors?
Kindest regards, Jazor
Having gone back taken a few photo's I can say you are right they are both full hollows I'll leave you with photo's of the grind plus the razors.
Henckels 17 full hollow 7/8 carbon steel.

@ celticcrusader: amazing... With the 14's I have I can slide my index and thumb from spine to edge and I feel the belly.
Good picture by the way: could you post another one with an example where a bellied profile is visible?
Never a dull day without learning something for me I guess.
Kindest regards, Jazor
OK I've put a few photo's up in the above post for you hope they are OK.

Miha,
Thanks for sharing. That's a nice group of blades there. That Palmera looks impressive!
I've never heard of a Field 14. Can you tell us a little more about it?
hey Bordee: the truth is I don't have much information about Field, it is in good shape and has a very slight frawn, I like the scales a lot, they seem to be ok. i am adding another picture of if
the Palmera is bigger than the other, the scales will probably have to be replaced, pins are very loose, and a scale has a crack by the pivot pin, some sort of light, not so dense wood I'd say, the blade is almost new..
Field..
