    Default Heljestrand No. 36, any info?

    A while back I got a Heljestrand "job lot" of 5 razors, including 3 unnumbered framebacks, a 32, and a 36 Frameback.
    (some can be seen in this thread)

    I've had discussions with Mikael (who's a member here) and he's told me the 36 is quite rare. Can anyone shed some light on this one?
    Approximate date?
    It was part of a semainier from what I gather, since it has "Jeudi" written on the spine. (which will be lost in the restore)

    It's currently being restored professionally.

    Here are some pics taken before it was sent away:

    Hi Max, nice razor you got.
    Not being an expert I can't help you about your question. But here you can find a lot of good information and nice advice.
    Been myself the owner of an Heljestrand MK nº 10, whose number once intrigued me, I can note that yours have BK. I found in this place an old thread very interesting about this subjet, at least for me.

    these are nice framebacks. i never deemed my ivory ones unrestored enough to put in the srdb, but i just put my gray horned one next to the one with a funky horn scales.
