    Roughing it: snowy cabin in Tahoe shave tonight with the King Pelican. Hot water heater died; good thing I enjoy a cold-water shave.

    Thanks it's a first generation pre 1950s absolute mint no hone ware celluloid scales and the lyra is a metal inlay, shaves like a laser not a razor you hardly feel the razor cutting it's so smooth.

    Yes not just printed on the tang vertical 14 plus the lettering must also be curved and there must be no markings on the opposite side of the tang show no country of origin this way you know you have a pre 1950s model the Especial was the forrunner and the original EPBD, I have another NOS 14 Doble Temple with the JMP lettering inside the goldwash this is also a pre 1950s model with original box and all paper work and gaurantee, PS I doubt very much if you could ever find another NOS Doble Temple pre 1950s with everything complete including the paper work.

    I think your custom title should say...NOS. Your collection is immaculate.
