So i Just recieved this italian razor ( or what i believe is an italian made razor) it has barely visible writing on the tang that reads F. (could be E) P. FER**ANTE and just under that it has CAMPOBASSO
it is a french point and is about 7/8ths. I assume is made in italy because wikipedia states that campobasso is famous for its cutlery.
does anybody know if this is an actual italian made razor or just a german blank grounded in italy?
Remember, we require pics...and more pics...without pics, it didn't happen! :DQuote:

That a very nice looking blade, 7/8 is a great size, congrats, you obviously did well with that one!
:D
Thats a very nice blade.
so what do you guys say? Italiano o tedesco?
I have one that reads Compobasso. The blade is hefty and about a quarter hollow. Lots of steel. Unfortunately the blade has lots of hone wear, and rust.
I think its definately an Italian razor, campobasso being a province in italy. Beautiful blade by the way!
I like it...... I'm defiantly on the look out!
Interesting razor with a blade style I really like. Thanks for posting it.

Definitely Italian. http://www.ilrasoio.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=138 here it says that it's by a company which forged razors and scissors. Very interesting find!
