    @Mods, if this needs to be moved, please do.

    I look at the bay every so often, not to buy, just to see what's out there. I haven't purchased anything new in several years and I'm really not tempted.

    Here's a Wacker that looks a little peculiar to me. Wonder if the smarter and sharper eyed folks here can either confirm or deny my thoughts.

    It's a Sheffield blank that looks to be a bit on the old side. It's got "Solingen" scales. Nothing wrong with either of those. However, it's got a Wacker etch (not an imprint like older Wacker razors have). It just looks to me that someone removed what ever mark was on the razor tang and replaced it with a Wacker etch. What do you think?

    It is odd

    Looking at it BESIDES that odd Wacker mark I would guess Puma #66

    Many Frakenrazors out there,,, with old blanks used by newer companies, who knows
