Thread: Fake Filly ?

I came across this razor the other day and I can't ever remember seeing a Filly without some sort of stamp on the tang. Does anyone here know if this is real or maybe could shed some light on this. Thanks!

Might be some info in this for you http://straightrazorpalace.com/aucti...ca-yes-no.html.

Is this your photo or someone else's? If it's not yours, it coluld just be a trick of the light that you can't see anything on the tang.

It's this one, right?

'Fake' could mean many things. It may be made by filarmonica just missing the stamp - factory defect, or different set of blanks not part of their main line. I would bet money that even if it were, without stamp they wouldn't sell it under their brand - no self-respecting company would.

So, in my view this is not a proper filarmonica razor, even if shaves exactly like one, or even if it is made by them. I'm ready to bet money that the razor was not produced by filarmonica though - those pins are dead giveaway.

But these razors are no longer made, so I guess there is a market for stuff that resembles them to various degrees.

That is not a fake! Some of the newer ones did not have the tang stamp.

Lemur, that's razor I was looking at. I have no idea where you found it (cough, cough), but I am not sure what to do. There is a lot of great information here and I think I'll have to hold out until I can find a stamped Filly that I want. So far I'm doing well on razors, I've got a Engels Leader, a DD Wonderedge, and a DD Goldedge. I can wait till buying another one for now

I posted this a little while back. http://straightrazorpalace.com/aucti...ca-yes-no.html
