I bid on a razor on the bay. Very bad picture but i could tell no damage to the blade. I was also thinking it was a large blade and i could not tell how the scales were. Well i was very surprised to see this when i opened it. A little over 6/8

Wow nice score... I can't read the tang markings very well, who made this beauty?
Very nice and different piece Rene.
Congrats on a really cool find:)
Holy crap. Sweeet.
Stunning...
Thank you. Anton Wingen JrQuote:

Not that it matters what I think, but I can't help to chime in and say that's one beautiful razor. I'd probably hang that over some doorway for everyone to admire instead of using it. Very nice find.
Thank you. I would love to do some type of display but would worry about someone being tempted to touch it. Still wanting to build a cabinet with drawers to hold my razors.Quote:

They are thin, probably brass with a blue color between the scrolls. Looks like the design is was craved into the scales.Quote:

Does that say 'OTELLO' on the tang? I had an Anton Wingen that did, and stated 'Anton Wingen' on the reverse. An excellent shaver, but nowhere near as elegant as that. It says exactly what it is on the blade face!
Thank you! Yes it does say Othello.Quote:

Rene, great grab my friend. Use it in good health!!! I need to stay off the Bay and classifieds for a while.
Thank you Jeff. I understand you avoiding the class. You need to protect the family jewels. LOL!Quote:
