Hey everyone.
I posted in the General section about some toys I found today in Boston.
However, the best find was the straight that came with my Allegro Mod. Flexible Hone/strop.
Whoever sold it to the antique store sold it with their razor, which does not go with the original hone. There is "space for your razor" in the box, but the razor was included at no charge.
Anyway, it is Widerstrahl, Solingen - model A718type. I believe it is 6/8. Very little, if any hone wear. It looks barely used. A couple small rust spots but other than that its it is reallly perty. The pins are tight, and the scales haven't a scratch. A nice logo with a star of david and a flag are etched into the top of the blade.
I tried to take pictures but my camera is lacking.

Anyway, any info on this razor? I paid about 35 bucks for the hone/strop and the razor. I would appreciate thoughts.
Thanks.
