Indeed, they are!
Here some pics of my new '#14 Filarmonica:
It's an "Especial" model. The engraved eagle on the tang I have never seen before
I was lucky and could get this razor for very little money, but my happiness quickly disappeared as I unwrapped the package.
The razor everything else but in mint condition :)

- The scales are cracked, the blade doesn't close centered
- There is massive honewear at spine and edge
- The broadth varies from 6/8" to 7/8"
Restoration:
I have glued the scales. After cleaning them, I'll have to try to repin the blade. Unfortunately my replacement scales don't fit, because the blade is longer than usual. Let's hope, that the glued original will last.
I tried to polish out the honewear with 150 grit sandpaper. That worked quite well, but it still needs a finer finish.
In order to save the etching, I dipped a toothpick in green acrylick paint (contains ChrOx) and started to polish in between the etched notes. You cann still see some some scratch marks of the toothpick/1000grit paper combo.
Lust but not least, I'll have to hone it.
