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.

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

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!

I agree but see it the other way around, the 2 pins and easier inlay, would decrease production costs, which is the other reason I would guess newer... all in the way you look at it I guess Originally Posted by sharpshavefun007

Hard to say which came first but this 'new' one is the first of many Hans razors that I have seen like it. Not that I am an expert but just through years of looking at the bay ..... Originally Posted by sharpshavefun007

yeah, I didn't know what to think when I first layed eyes on it in the antique shop. The price was right too!

That's a great looking find, I'm keeping my eyes open for an Otto. Congrats on yours, only one I've seen like it.
Is it just the picture or is there a bit of frown to the blade?
