Thread: Colt commerorative razor

No pics yet, but I just picked up a Colt 175th anniversary straight razor.

I got it real cheap and knew that it was not a real razor for getting a good shave but couldn't pass it up. Made in China (imagine that), I'm kind of hoping that if I hang onto it long enough it may gather some value to a Colt collector.

Anyone see these out there?

Have seen them,maybe in 400 yrs they may double in price,you got it cheap because it will always be a cheap razor,good luck.

LOL. I know it is not going to go over on this site, but for a Colt collector it may. $10 gamble.

To bad it is not good steel, because it is a nice looking razor.

Trust me, It was not bought as a first razor or one to be put in the rotation, more of a display/ discussion piece.

I saw them and was thinking of getting one even if it is a straight razor knife.

Nothing,just stating the facts.

So what exactly is the point of making and selling so-called commemorative "razors" that aren't even functional?

For the unknowing public,if it looks like a straight razor,must be a straight razor

Duuh.. It is a genuine rendition of a copy of a replica of the not so exact razor that Sam Colt used... Gaaaaa. You sure don't know copoes of collectables very well..

If its got that famous pony stamped on it, someone will buy it, not me, even though my Safe Queen is a SAA.

I wouldn't mind having a Colt toothbrush though.
