Nope. its dyed horn. so, not rot. it certainly has been stored in "less than ideal" conditions though! the rust is typical, where the blade touches the scales, and where people have...

while it is a "shame" that its broken, the seller is absolutely correct in his assumption that the scales are still useful to somebody. I myself waited almost 2 years for a clean set of tree...

Not really. His policy is no returns, and nowhere does he make any claims to the condition of the razors. This is a true case of Caveat Emptor (Let the Buyer Beware)

Literally, if...

Its rare that a seller actually pisses me off. So perhaps he belongs here...

Well, "Vintage 2007" to be precise :rofl2:

I dont know.... If you look over some of the other photos, it does appear blue/grey Could just be photo color problems. It can be hard to get right sometimes...

Reported for what? he states clearly that "he BELIEVES" it to be an Escher. If you are dumb enough to believe what he believes... I believe you should all send me 10 dollars.
Cavety...

The auction here isnt the shame.... Its the guluibility of the bidders.

Really guys? Seriously? Do you not have zoom functions on your browsers?

That is TAPE! many layers, of old, disgusting TAPE. Brazing.... you guys amuse me! :popcorn:

Cmon guys, keep up! I posted this one back on page 120 :rofl2:

While I myself would never pay more than so much money, I think this is not at all a "shameful" ebay item. It might be a shame that its not original, but the ingenuity to put this together is...

The only "shame" in asking for top dollar is that not enough people are willing to pay ME that money!

Better photos would help to determine the "shame" of the razors above, but I lean to that Pipe razor being original small blade. The Baurmann? not so much! =P

I cant really tell from those photos, but you guys DO realize that there were 3/8 razors made, dont you?

You know who belongs on this wall of shame? You Guys.

Picking apart razors because they are not prime examples? Yes, That W&B FBU has grind marks.

So What? If you look close, ...

You do realize that is the scales themselves deteriorating? Nobody did anything to it.

I'm gonna have to say somebody here does not know much about real world economics.

Since when does the restorer NOT influence the value of the item in question?

Joe Shmoe down the street...

OR.... Look how buffed out the razor is, realize that its been put to a wheel, and that there is a very real possibility that the razor was over heated, and the temper lost, the seller knows...

Nothing shameful at all about this one. Just because you guys are not seeing a value in the broken blade does not mean there is no value at all. The box is not new production. The original...

Most certainly freshly ground. Most likely with a buffer and not an actual stone.

Well, Since we know the guy can write back, as he did to say there is nothing wrong with the scales, you now have your answer as to why he wont respond to your complains on the razors that were not...

Truly shameful behavior.

Bold faced lie, or complete ignorance. I have contacted seller to inform them of their mistake, but suspect the former is the case.
