All antique shops are magical. You just have to be very persistent. I sometimes go months without a lick, then BAM, there it is hiding on a low shelf waiting for me.

Unsure but I know somone will be able to help. That is a good looking find though.

I wonder if this particular otto deutsch predates other otto deutsch razor's? This otto deutsch only has two pins rather than the typical three pinned deutsch scaled razor. ????????????????????

I think that those scales might be custom, as in sombody did a partial inlay lift... If so it is a very nice job, if you could get some close ups of the inlay and the pins I might be able to tell for sure just from the pics...

What is the name on the tang does it say "Hans" ????

I'm in the same boat with you guys! Hehe! It sucks, but the antique shops in London are terrible. The only razor I did find was rusted to blazes and they wanted £270 for it!!

I did tell them I could get a new, shave ready Mastro Livi regrind for that much moolah...

It's a beauty, very nice find!
