    Default Huge John Barber with anchor stamp

    Usually I don't go after these. but I saw it on ebay and it piqued my interest. It measure a hair over 10/8, and has an anchor stamped on the pile side, adding to the pile of giant razors out there with the anchor stamp. For comparison is a 6/8 John Barber.

    WOW............that's the biggest John Barber I've seen!!!! I have some big ones but my largest are two 8/8 W&B FBU's. I can never get any larger ones & when I can, I don't have the bucks!

    How did I miss that one? Nice score. The over honing at the toe has given it a lovely smile

    Interesting - I have an I.Barber with a fouled anchor stamp - IIRC, you commented on another thread that variations on known names were prevalent in passing off inferior razors.

    The Anchor stamp looks similar to the type of stamp on the GB's??

    Fascinating razor with the Masonic Compass.....

    It was probably only up for a few minutes.
