This razor is very interesting to me...

Only has a diamond with 37 inside. “Solingen” and 302 in the reverse.

This was the 2nd time I had seen it come up for sale. Missed it the first time but not this time.
Sold as a Puma, but I wasn’t sure. I really didn’t care too much because the price seemed great for a 3 pin, French point, German razor... but would be nice if it was a Puma.
It has a box that says “Puma The Solingen,” so that could match the reverse tang, but I can’t say I understand the 37 on the front and the 302 on the reverse. Then I found this...

So a diamond and 37 do have a connection with the Puma brand.
Another selling point was that it was a clone of the Puma 18, which I very much enjoy... so let’s compare.

Looking good so far.

Shape matches but the 37 does feel heavier, and you can see that in the grind.

All in all, I think this is a Puma, and a pretty cool addition to the collection.
Happy hunting,
