    Otto Fromm scales. Revisor blade. Don't think they came together? If the scales are yellow, rescale the blade in something else.
    Yellow Fromm Redhead scales are notorious for cell-rot, FME.

    Revisor is a nice razor.

    Values are not permitted on here though. But I feel like breaking rules so here you go. Its worth whatever anybody will pay for it.

    I'm a huge fan of Revisors. I have two and love them both. You could have done a lot worse.

    Yours looks to be a vintage model. Here is one of mine but it's new production.

    May be OK, then. Keep an eye out! Nice razor, in any case. Hone and shave!

    Welcome to SRP. The vintage Revisors are stamped C. Friedr Schmidt on the reverse tang, not so the current production, so the blade is vintage. I have one old Revisor and it is a real good shaver. If you're going to use it and if you haven't been using straights you might want to check out the beginner's guide here. Also get it pro honed if it isn't shave ready. Member services here.
