Thanked: 1371Is it possible that these are simply newer production razors and the descriptions are inaccurate?

Thanked: 0Help?
Hi there, I have recently purchased one of these razors at a very high price, I thought I was getting something unique but am new to the straight razor game and therefore apparently may have been taken for a nice little run.
A little more info about the razor itself so that I can be advised by people that know more than me, (or at least I hope you will advise me).
This razor has no spacer, the plastic of the handle meets where a spacer should be. It has a plastic piece rather than a third pin. The pin for the spacer is of the type that looks like a nail with a washer on the other side and the top pin seems traditional. The figure of the single man on the blade as well as the words and numbers seem to be cut into the blade but not as deep as some of the older razors like the Wade and Butchers that I have.
It says Henckels solingen germany and has the number 10078 1/2 on the tang as well. The plastic or composite handle has a single man in it as well but the man is not metal inlaid as another henckels that I have with the twins on it.
Anyway, thank you for what is on here so far as I am trying to get info on a possible refund on this item but I can't find any info on the single man or on production dates for specific henckels razors and may need this info to proceed.
Any info would be appreciated...

Thanked: 3164I have handled and honed one of the three-crosses razors from this chap and it looked like the real-deal to me - in fact it took a stunningly good edge and is now a favourite shaver for the guy I honed it for (who has many, many razors including Pumas, Bokers, Dubl Duck, Fili, etc, etc). Years ago I got a similar three crosses, complete with the box, original printed waxed paper wrapper and sales receipt - genuine beyond a doubt. These two razors are identical in all respects as far as I can see.
Regards,
Neil
