    Default Robert Klaas Prussia 1765RP

    So I was browsing around craigslist and found this one in the Philadelphia area. Being a Robert Klaas maniac you can imagine my reaction when I saw these scales. It's in great shape with little to no hone wear. There are a couple water marks and the tang/pivot area could be cleaned out. I'm thinking about sending it out for a light restore to one of our skilled craftsmen here (I can't do anything with my hands but shave).

    If you look closely at the scales there's a woman's face just above the wedge pin. I'm glad I found this one!

    What you see is all there is. No other names.

    It's the original pining and was never repinned like you see where someone puts fancy scales on a different blade.

    To me the tang and the lines aside from mine being a square point look similar to yours. Same jimps on the bottom. So..........maybe mine is a Klaas?

    From what I can see, this Klaas is original pinning too. I'm guessing these scales were just injection molded and maybe bought 3rd party by razor manufacturers?

    Maybe yours is a Klaas too. Don't know how we'd be able to find out for sure, though.
