Hello, picked up a German made razor listed as NOS. Pics looked good to me, but Im new in this arena. Came in original paper/sleeve with tag and upon inspection most seems ok other than some scale discoloration and tiny bit of corrosion(?) around one of pins. Pins are tight, blade is centered when closing, zero wobble in blade, finish looks good. Edge looks ok except one small spot to the eye. I looked at spine and noticed the following:
I thought this could be from:
1) the factory cleaning up after grinding in 1/4 hollow,
2) from the edge that was put on at factory, or
3) someone honed it.
Any thoughts are appreciated as to the spine issue. Thanks.
