Wild Inspection razor question
hey my favorite people in the world (straight razor users)
Well I got an itch really really bad I love my razor but it needs a friend or cuzz it needs another razor. Due to car I am not able to go looking around so I have to use the ol internet.
Anyway, I came across
a razor "Wild Inspection" the razor is in good condition and the seller sent me some close up as well. I tried looking up Wild Inspection razor but didn't get any where. The seller is asking 25 ehue. I also pics if ya'll need to see it.
So does anyone have experience with this razor?
Also, what should I look into as far how old and stuff?
Anyone own and how does it shave?
Does anyone know what country it's from?
Thanks my peeps.

If you could post some pics that would certainly help identifying the age of the razor, and might also reveal more.

After a cursory search. I came up with the Clauss Cutlery Company in Fremont, OH.
Clauss Cutlery Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Looks like it is at least pre-1945 but there's no mention in the article about the razors produced. Again, it was just a cursory look.

The Clauss razors are excellent shavers. In fact, I shaved with one this morning and it was one of my smoothest shaves ever.

Two Clauss, Fremont, Ohio references in Standard Guide to Razors: Clauss; Fremont, 1878- and Clauss Henrie; 1917-1920. To me, that looks like a nice razor.

I have a T. hessenbruch razor and agree with KingsRam's theory about your scales and blade not being correctly paired. Check out this tread to see more about T. Hessenbruch. I am not an expert on this subject, so you be the judge.

Thanked: 5 Thanks
After much thought
and looking over ya'll answers I am not going to pull the plug. Thanks 
though for the answers. I agree the blade itself and and the scales are from different models. I wonder what the story behind it is. I do want a 'wild inspection' and will keep my good ol' eye out for one. So thanks everybody.
