It is the same razor, I assure you!! If I take a photo now, in a certain lighting angle, it amplifies, the tiniest hairline scratches, as well as whatever is around that may be reflecting, and adding some color (hence, why originally thought the blade was rusty)
....The seller is just an antique/salvage type ebayer..Hes not necessarily a straight razor guy..Apaprently he had an Old Backpack(made out of a wood frame, with wrought iron nails), from the 1800's that came his way, with this, and 2 other straights in it (a beat up For Barbers Use, and another nice one with cracked horn scales), as well as "items typically carried in a backpack" according to him...Either that or hes Ebay Santa Claus, and just decided to send me a different razor worth 4 times what I paid....
