Thread: Weird combo - CMon Special with Otto Deutsch-like scales

By the way, some really nice looking metal you guys shared pics of...
I'll post images after I clean it up.

I never read. Is it a PJM or an Ellicottevile on the reverse tang? I just saw the Hans box in the OP. I would bet someone installed a different blade in some Otto Deutch scales as some earlier ones were scaled like that instead of the horrid green cell-rot scales.

Thanks guys!
It's in the mail. Was listed incorrectly as an Otto. No worries. I noticed it WAS a Special gssixgun and I'm excited for that. Love C-Mons's! And Neil, it does have Michel on the other side of the tang. I'll post pics after I clean it up.
By the way, really nice metal you guys posted for reference.

Reposted 'cause my iPad didn't update properly. Damn tech. Why wasn't I born earlier to make things simpler? Ha!

Isn't it a shame that such a beautiful razor as the green Otto Deutsch so often gets the cell rot ........ that is why I've never gone to the high $ to get one. I know they don't all go that way but too many for comfort.

It's a PJM

Good! You should be able to find some scales. Perhaps (if you are lucky!) some with a Otto Deutsch blade in them! Nice razor, even as-is!

Ha! You're right...good as is.
I actually have an Otto. It's in a cryogenic vault, vacuum sealed with 20% humidity. Lol.
One of these days it'll turn to jello and I'll mix it with vodka and toast to the celluloid gods.
Until then, I love to hold it up to the sun and stare at its emerald glory.

Didn't do so hot on this one. Oh well. It actually doesn't have a frown, it's just bad hone wear. Ha! Live and learn. The scales must've been replaced, but awhile ago.
