Thread: newbie needs input on otto deutsch razor find!

If you could see me I am green with envy. At least as green as those scales. Lovely razor and I have been looking for a minty 6/8 Deutsch for eons. Congrats on your find.

yes, it reads "Hans" on the tang. It's stamps are all the same as the typical Hans otto deutsch razor. You must know, when I found this razor in the antique shop it was very dirty and had some rust and gunk on it. All I have done to it is cleaned it up and used 1,000 grit paper. I will polish it next. I am just saying if someone custom made this razor it would have been done years ago by the look of the antique state I found it in. Here's some more pics. Thankyou for the input!

Here's more pics.

Thanks for the up close pics, I gotta agree that looks factory...

That sure is a different one, even the shape and design changed from the flared wedge end, to a TI diamond design...... nice snag...

and more.......

Thanks, doesn't it look like it predates the other Hans otto?

I hate to say it but it looks like this is another example of a counterfeit razor, similar to the W&B that was discussed recently.

Better send it to me. I'll be sure it's disposed of properly. *


*Right next to a few other very fine razors in my collection.

well, I guess if you pay for the shipping costs. Just send me the money and I'll ship it right over to ya!

If I were going to actually guess I would guess newer rather than older myself...

Just looking at the cleaner look of the Stamp, and the grind the "Diamond" one looks more refined to my eyes at least... and that is just a WAG

I understand, I just figured from only having 2 pins rather than 3 the "diamond" scaled version would be older. I just thought that going to 3 pins would be an upgrade and adding a fancier inlay too. Thanks!
