Additional Notes -  Although made several decades ago, this Gevoso Special is still in pristine, unused condition.  The scales have its original clear coat and the metal insignia is intact and complete.  The factory grind is strong and prevalent throughout the blade.  The spine and bevel show no signs of hone wear and look factory fresh.  The etched design on the blade is crisp and undamaged.  When opened, the blade is tight in its scales and closes perfectly centered.  Even the edges of the tang and monkey tail are sharp to the touch.  Pretty much what you would expect from a decades old new-old stock blade.  Comes with its original box as pictured.
Extremely
rare in this new old stock condition, this particular out-of-production Gevoso Special would make a wonderful addition for any enthusiast's collection or be the first to use it and add it to your personal rotation.
Please keep in mind that this razor is a vintage item; accordingly, please make allowances for any cosmetic points that I may have missed in the written description above.  The accompanying pictures are of the actual item up for auction and may better represent the razor than the above description, please refer to all of them and judge the condition for yourself.  If you have any doubts about this item, please ask me about it before the auction ends, or refrain from bidding.

Although sharpened from the factory, because it has been in storage for several decades, it may be necessary to have this razor lightly refreshed before use.
