That's what I was hoping to hear, what do you think it's worth in almost new condition?

Well, here's the going prices of Dovos (see the stainless of your choice within that list):

I have 2, one with Stainless scales and the other in Ebony- both are excellent shavers and hone easily. That particular alloy, in my experience at least, is no where near as troublesome to hone as say a Friodur or Filarmonica which are extremely HARD steel and take quite a bit of work to set the bevel.

Both of the Dovo Inox blades I own were well crafted with no issues whatsoever. As far as holding an edgeYMMV.

Add me to the list of stainless fans. I bought a Hess 44 after getting the head nod from Glen and Lynn. Glad I did. In my small collection, it's the best shaver I have. A mint condition (no box) Hess 44 went for 78 bucks last week on ebay. I paid 158 (NOS, with box) for mine. It doesn't seem like they pop up all that regulary on ebay, though.
