One of my RAD sprees on the bay last week ended with this. Now if I was fishing I would “throw this one back”… it appears to be an incomplete razor.
A practice razor… looks like it was given a single grind and no edge. The steel is hardened (according to my bastard file) and may be tempered, so it should take a good edge if I ever decide to hone it. Everything else works jut fine.
May have been simply pulled from the production line after grinding and then scaled.
6/8 spike, red transparent 3 pin scales (I believe is Acrylic) and jimps on the bottom of the tang. “Fromm Bros Germany” stamped on one side of the tang “Practice Razor” on the other.
Is this an interesting bit of razor history, worthy of a display case, or just a mistake, a farad, another ebay disappointment to be quickly ushered into the laboratory along with other screaming razors to be experimented on?
