Thread: Is this a Friodur?

First off let me say hello to everyone. I've been visiting for a while trying to become informed but now I have a problem that has encouraged me to register and make my first post.

I recently purchased a straight razor off ebay
J.A. HENCKELS CUT THROAT STRAIGHT RAZOR Solingen Friodur INOX No Stain Case inst

I didn't see the auction until close to the end so in my excitement I think I missed certain key details that now concern me. Initially I was happy with my win even if the price went a bit higher than I would have liked but now I am worried that it isn't what it was claimed to be. I am hoping someone can answer a couple questions for me.

1. Is this an actual Henckels Friodur? Although it is advertised as a Henckels Friodur Inox I don't see Friodur or Inox stamped anywhere on the razor. It simply says J.A. Henckels Rostfrei-Stainless Solingen-Germany on one side and nothing on the other. I`m concerned that it`s a modern production Henckels stainless, non-Friodur, straight razor.

2. Is that the original box? Does anyone know when these red plastic boxes were used? I have seen these with other vintage Friodurs but I am concerned that it doesn`t belong to this razor.

Any help shedding some light on this will be greatly appreciated.

Also in case I can`t get the link to work the item number is 231070876974
