    Default i think i just got an actual italian made razor!

    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?

    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!
