Thread: Pre wwii henckel

Hi everyone

I an looking to buy a pre wwi henckel.

My problem is i dont know how to identify them or where to look for them (i am new to this).

Cheers.

Get you some posts in. Introduce yourself in the beginners section under 'introductions'.
Hit the search on the top right and see some old Henckels.
Get involved in some threads about them.
Hit the razor clubs section down there.
'Clan of the Dancing Twins' is the Henckels spot.

Become an active member, advertise in the BST in the 'wanted' section.
Easy!

Some pre WWII Henckels for your perusal!

Thx for the advice

I was looking at a way to identify them (ex numbers on tang, wedge, different twin logo,....)

I will search through the treads as you suggested.

Very best regards

As you look, they will be easy to identify versus post-war examples..Fairly stylish for the oldest ones.

TBH, I think the majority, if not all of these I pictured, are pre-WWI.

Except for some of the Friodur models, it is unknown how the numbers on the tang relate to the various models.

Sharptonn, beautiful. So i got to look for style. Not at numbers or logo.

Thx

Certainly the Friodurs are post-war?

So frioridur are post war?

Lots of rather plain Henckels were made pre WWII. In looking at very old ones, yes. The style will resemble old Sheffield and Solingen, even French razors of the period.

Post WWII, yes. I think from the 50's onward?
