Thread: french frameback with removable blade.

Here's my 7 day Jaques Lecoultre set. Each blade is numbered 1-7.

Thank you Richard. I see them on eBay just as a single razor a lot of times but I have two complete 2 day sets plus a 5 day set a friend pawned to me but I gave him the option to buy it back & he mentioned it the other day that he was putting in some over time & will probably be getting it back. I love my 7 day set! Very rare & hard to come by.

I just snapped that you were watching that auction too! I paid a price for it but it was worth it because they are very hard to come by these days. I always see a lot of singles out there w/o a box & extra blades. I have Lecoultre in my saved watches so I get an email every time one pops up! I have a few saved watches going but I'm about in the no buy mode for now until I get me a part time job that will work with my disabilities.

Here's my Swedish frame back with a removable blade. If any of you have one of these, the blade will slide right out the front! These blades were made to slide out. I have 2 of these razors & I think I saw that they come out in one of my books I use for references. If they have been in there a long time which most have, they are just slightly tightly in there from dirt & grime. They apparently had replacement blades or may have come in sets.

What threading????
Some of them had a screw that went into the spine till no head showed. Others had the regular screw with a head. and...not all had the same threading. but I have tried about 40 different threads and sizes from clocks, metric, and guns and still have not had a success.

Have actually re-tapped a couple that had bad threads to a standard SAE set screw.
