    Default WW II German Razor Natch

    Was checking out eBay and came across this interesting find. Has anybody seen anything like this, I find it a little odd that the writing would be in English on the tang if this is truly a product of Nazi Germany

    It's a fake. IMO.
    The etchings on both sides are different.
    ...the seller is trying to sell it during last year.
    I've seen this razor on eBay in autumn.

    Screams Japanese razor to me. They often have unusual stamps/poor English. The Swastika was a Buddhist symbol before Adolf misappropriated it, so it's intentions on that razor aren't clear. The helmet shape doesn't help it's cause much though. Who knows!

    Yes, saw either this one or it's sister on the bay within the past year. If it's real, the mixing of cultures is interesting.

    Yeah I agree it would be interesting if it were real but something definitely does not sit right here

    Yeah, I have a razor with Adolph Hitler on it. All writing on it is in English as well. I think these things are postwar. Sold as curiosities/souvenirs.
    If that thing sells for that much dough, Adolph is gonna have to go!
