    Default NOS Filarmónica found in Spain

    I thought this was just another urban myths, but apparently there are still NOS Phillies around in Spain, unfortunately nowhere near where I live....


    This was bought by a friend at a very good price, apparently NOS from a shop, but I post some pics here to see what you think about:

    - The "smile" on the blade, is that normal?
    - The lack of marking on the tang

    May be this is a transition model between the classic model and those late production, like those from Classic Shaving,, which also lacked the gold etching, and the marks on the tang?






    And before you all ask, NO, THERE ARE NONE LEFT WHERE HE BOUGHT THIS ONE, I asked already....

    Regards

    Carlos, I'm absolutely no expert, so I'm afraid to say this, but...

    It looks like the top box is mismatched (the ends are different colors, and there seems to be an offset at the seam) and, the blade says Doble Temple, while the box says Sello Oro 13. Not a good sign.

    Also, that looks like a BIG bevel for an NOS blade...

    But again, I'm no expert so who knows. One way or another, it'll be a great shaver I'm sure...

    Thanks guys, as I said is not mine (I wish!), but a few things were "strange" in this razor...

    And yes Jim, the box is another of those things, and that bevel...mmm, I am quite sure it will be a great shaver,anyway...

    Cheers

    Carlos, your hint is right, this model looks one of the last models to be made, shortly before those from CS. The blade shap looks identical.
