Made in USA vs. Marcas Regs?

[brian4206]

Is a Marcas Regs Gillette DE worth less than an identical Made in USA one? I also have seen Made in England ones. I'm just curious if the country or origin helps or hurts the value, or doesn't really make much difference. Thanks.

It would depend on who's buying, but generally speaking I wouldn't say that it makes it worth any more or less than an equivalent razor made anywhere else. It's also worth noting that it does appear that later American-made Techs were marked with both "Reg. U.S. Pat. Off." and "Marcas Regs," presumably to be sold in both North and South America.

That's the markings that mine has. It has Reg US, Patenf Off, and Marcas Regs. It's an M2 psycho BTW.

Welcome to B&B Brian, those are nice razors.

Thanks! It's a beautiful piece indeed. My key is definitely not in as good of shape as the razor is. I guess I'm just lucky to have a key!
