    Does anyone know if there's a special name for these framebacks, or if any custom makers offer them?

    haha have a shot if you want, you can always buy another one.

    i cleaned it up a bit, the blade goes in and out pretty easily but stays well locked in.

    anyone have some tips to straighten out the frown and hone it?

    That's a very interesting piece dooey. I've never seen one like that. That is a piece of history if I've ever seen one. Great score!!!! Looks like they were trying to compete with Lecoultre if they are from the same era. I wish I had more information on French razor's.

    Even the rust spots.............they are all in the exact same place! What's up here??? Do each of you still have your razor's or did one of you sell the one you had & the other ended up with it? This is really blowing me away.......................................

    Only if it has a release lever or a screw in the front of the spine.!!!!! Otherwise they often were, squeezed, silver brazed, or lead soldered in.
