Straight razor. Heiffor. Super rare and early "select horn" handled razor. C-1810. This Handle material is the rarest that you will find on an early Razor. I have witnessed four, including the folding straight razor carried by the Duke of Marlborough. All four that I have encountered over the past 50 years, I kept. You will search for many years and most likely will never find one. I do not know why this "select horn" is so rare. It must have been extremely hard to find this kind of grain on a single horn. Although I sold Kurt many rare pieces over the past 40+ years, he did not purchase this one from me.
