@Fatnash I thought you won ebay auctions, sorry if i used the wrong terminology ;-)

@Birnando - the stamping is pretty different than what you usually see, the fancy scrolled C like what is on the box, and I have not found any other pictures of the stamping like the one on the razor I purchased.

@syslight - I'll update this post with condition once I receive it. I noticed that the wedge was out of position too, but I expected a bit of restore work when I bought it. The scales don't appear cracked at either pin or in the middle, and only slight discoloring of the scales of the characteristic Ebonite yellow-green color. Razor wear doesn't look horrible, but it is difficult to tell from ebay pictures... So my goal is to unpin the razor, clean up the steel, get the scales looking new as possible (and waxed if Ebonite), re-pinned and send it off for a sharpening. This is the main part of a full setup to be given as a gift.
