Hey all;
So I visit my buddy in eastern Colorado, he attends farms sales and has acquired an impressive collection of vintage straight razors.
Im no expert, but I do recognize brands as I am a knife affectionado.
JA Henckles, Puma, countless old brands I've never heard of.
I make a trade for an old French straight razor in the original box ( most of his razors are in the original box)
This razor is constructed differently than most old razors, it has a heavy back spine with an inserted plate of Damascus steel, fine ground to perfection.
The brand is " J. Petavy Ft"
Box reads "J. Petavy Ft 169 Bd-Saint Germain-Paris"
The condition would have to be described as mint to excellent.
I am not looking for value, only information as to the maker.
Google gives me snake eyes, and this intrigues me.
Anyone?
