The seller agreed to a return and said they would pay the cost of original shipping. I didn't really press it on the return shipping although I did tell them that be advised this item is defective and anyone who uses, collects or restores straight razors would consider it so. By the same token I know they lost also and in fairness had I looked at it through a better monitor than my phone perhaps I would have seen it. Not to make excuses for them but I don't really believe that they were trying to pass it over on some unsuspecting Rube. I really feel like they just didn't know.
