Thanked: 884Difficult to tell much from those pics. Can you post some of the blade itself and the tang markings?

Thanked: 4827for something that looks like it should be either new or new old stock that heal looks pretty rough. Are you able to judge the overall fit and finish?

Thanked: 40This razor might be some cheap Chinese Knockoff, or it could perhaps be a Thiers Issard.
TI still carries a limited edition Sabatier "Bucephal" line of razors with a "Flying Horse" trademark.
See THIERS-ISSARD SABATIER
The razor you showed has a different image of the horse than the TIs that is are currently sold. I wonder if TI has held this trademark for a long time, and your razor is an old "Flying Horse"?

Thanked: 71I wish it was the Theirs-Issard, the ones I saw online made this one look very weak. Rez it seems to be fairly cheap, I believe it is NOS but on the low end.

Thanked: 884I like that one a LOT more than the Flying Horse.
The spine on the horse razor looks funky and I can't find anything anywhere on it.Member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club, participant SE Asia War Games 1972-1973. The oath I swore has no statute of limitation.
