Amarcord, 1973

Sheesh.

With all due respect, Neil, I got my answer about the fascists after I posted that. I truly appreciate all the additional research you did and the information you found.

Wow, talk about a memory jog! I used to live on Isola Di LaMaddalena which is connected by a small bridge to Isola Caprera. This beings back some pretty good memories of beautiful beaches, great food, and a lot of snorkeling I didn't do much research while I was there, but Garibaldi is (as it was described to me) the George Washington of Italy. Great find!!

More and more I'm believing it is a unique and probably rare blade. I may not like the history it came from but certainly the history it evokes. And I agree that Garibaldi is likely the George Washington of Italy.

I'm very sorry but you're all wrong! The razor was used as a prop in The Soprano's!

Now that's funny.

Congratulations!!!! you have a razor with good steel and very hard to find....good

Thanks kratos86. I think I got lucky. Picked it up on eBay for $25. Go figure.
