Thread: Cheap souvenir or inexpensive Filarmonica?

What do you guys think: is the razor in the first photo a cheap souvenir or a Filarmonica in disguise?

I think it's a Filly, for the following reasons:

1. It's stamped "Made In Spain" on the tang and in the same font as the Filly in the second photo.
2. The scales and pins seem identical to those in the third photo, which is of the 7/8ths Vintage Blades was selling until a few months ago.
3. The blade is very much the same shape (even down to the single shoulder) as the blades in the both known Fillies.

So, what do you fellas think? Is it a Filarmonica? If so, would the blade of quality comparable to those sold by Vintage Blades under the Filarmonica name? It appears to have been produced around the same time as those razors.

Its beautiful regardless.

Looks like it's missing a good chunk. Could be bad photography thouh.

If you're looking at the front inch of the cutting edge, it's bad photography. The razor is resting in one of those molded plastic, fuzz-covered trays, which obscures the toe.

I think its the Holder its in....so bad picture

Yeah, now I see it. It looks like a Filly. Could be regional influence though. Worth a shot

Filarmonica made many razors that were rebranded. The blade profile looks like a filly to me. I say buy it if it's a deal.

Never had a bad filly. Period.
