That's a handsome blade and looks to be in great condition !!
Joseph Rodgers are sought after by many.
I can't comment on price, if it's worth it to you, buy it.
Now you've put it up here, you should make a decision quickly before someone beats you to it !!

Perhaps I've been blind to this but I do believe that is the first full hollow Joseph Rogers razor that I have seen to date. Looks very nice and I'd not be too concerned about the price - although I would factor in the cost of having it honed, should be intended to be shaved with.

The "England" stamp on the tang would place it towards the end of the 19th century - perhaps 20th century?
