I purchased a merkur slant at an antique store last week for $25. It was in an ivory plastic case with a couple of Merkur blades. The packing boo 'll o.k.x is in pretty good shape and has the id #640-13 on it. Inside the plastic case is written, "original Merkur Solingen, D.R.P., MADE IN GERMANY".
The handle seems off white in color. I haven't cleaned the razor yet. It seems to have evidence of silver plating tarnish on the bands. There are no id marks on the the bottom razor head. The only mark on the top plate is the #2.
My question is do I have some sort of frankenrazor or do I have a vintage Merkur slant?
