Friedr. Herder Abr.Sohn 50 1"

Picked this up on eBay a few nights ago in the BIN selection. Description just read " Old german razor, 1" wide blade"
I haven't been able to find any info on this particular model though or any other examples. Attachment 224851Attachment 224852

Looks unused. Nice score!

Very good quality German made razor, looking for one as my next purchase. Should clean up nicely and make you a fantastic shaver. Get it honed by a pro.

I had one a while back but didn't know what I had. One of our soldiers in Afghanistan was looking for a straight razor so I sent it to him.....found out later I let a jewel slip through my fingers!

Very nice find in that size, congrats. If it shaves anything like the Freddie Herder I have you will be in for a treat.

Thank you. I restore and hone myself, so that wont be an issue. Very excited about this one, especially for the price. Razor and shipping were less than $30! And my wife wonders why I'm always flipping though eBay. This is why.

Hello PR 357+Guy´s,the ace of spades at the Tang was the oldest Brand in Solingen (from 1727 !).I guess this Modell 50 is older then 70 Years and in very good condition.Congratulations for this great shaver.Greetings from Germany Markus.

Well this arrived yesterday and I found a crack near the toe. I had to remove about 1mm to get past it but it came out nice and still measures just over an inch from the bottom of the hone surface of the spine to the bottom of the new bevel!

Still not able to find another example of a #50 model.
