Thread: newbie needs input on otto deutsch razor find!

I found this razor today at an antique shop. I have seen many otto deutsch razor's before but not with these scales. Do you guys have any input on what I have found? The blade is 3/4". Thankyou for any input you might have or just comments on my razor score!

I've never seen those scales before. Very nice find.

That's a beaut... Why does every member of this board but me seem to have such magical antique shops near them >.>

Haha! I know exactly how you feel! :-P

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!
