It can be seen when you look it with your eyes!
The pictures that I get with my nokia cell phone are very low quality and that’s why you can’t see the ertsing.

It is so evident in the first pics of the thread because these are the pictures of the seller obtained with much better photograph devices.

Ok thats a lucky. Enyoy this beaty.

Here's a bit of info from Maximilian's site:

'Richard Abr. Herder is an old line Solingen firm that has been around since 1727. They made quite a few bayonets, daggers and knives during WWI and WWII and are originally known as a manufacturer of tools and cutlery.'

What I know for sure is that they've manufactured a lot of SS daggers during WWII (came to me as a shock, since Abr. in the name stands for Abraham, and that wasn't one of the most popular surnames in Germany at the time) and a truckload of those daggers are copied right now and sold as originals. Your razor is genuine, that's for sure. And I believe you got if off japanippon on Ebay for a fair price. Congratulations and may it give you a long and pleasant series of shaves!

Thank you very much for these useful information and for your kind words as well.

I bought it on ebay, but from a different seller.

My bad on the seller part. I saw one exactly like yours that went away from him and I assumed it was the same.

Enjoy it!

PS. Tell me how does it shave, I'm eyeing a 7 day set form Abr Herder.

I shaved 5 times with it whiskeypete. I am very satisfied. It shaves really well. Smoothly and deep.
