    It is a lot nicer than my Puma. Then again mine was only 15$US and after about a year I still can't make it shave ready!(:-(

    That's not good!

    My only Puma is a nice INOX, but it's a heavier blade, grind, than I like. I much prefer a full or extra hollow.

    Of course if this is a real Puma Reaper, I'd prefer to have had it in the collection too!!

    With a really good shot of the pins I might be able to tell if they have been changed..

    Could have been rescaled. A closeup of the pivot pin would help for that, but there may be no way to know for sure.

    Yeah, the first thing I looked for was the pivot pin. These were the 2 best images to see it. ???

    I have never seen Puma 88 with those scales, only the original Puma scales.
    I am skeptical those are the original scales, were you able to find other references with pictures?
