    Default Question about Vintage Bismarck

    Ok so, I haven't bought this one... yet. LOL! I was wondering though if anyone could give me some info. It's a Round Point 6/8 Marked "BISMARCK" on one side of the tang and "Ground in Germany" on the other. It has "F. Everard Southampton Agent" etched on the blade. What is this? Is it a good old vintage Bismarck? And, what's with the etching on the blade? The scales are plain black and the seller says it's English Silver Steel. Any info would be greatly appreciated...

    Bismarck are very good razors, but you really need to post picture of the razor to get a good idea of what we are talking about, its all about the condition its in.

    The etching on the blade could possibly be the same thing as on the Bengall that was sold in Sweden. They were marked Bengall on one side of the tang and Borlänge Maskinaffär on the other side as they were the agent in Sweden.
    Bismark is a great shaver btw hope you will enjoy it.
