Found this at an antique store and I take it is a fake. I ahd not ever seen anything like it and can not find anything on the internet, so I would love opinions!

A modern fantasy item, sorry.

Thanks Ade I figured it was but I couldn't figure out why they would fake a straight razor? I take it that you have seen this before then?

A simple case of anything with a swastika will sell....

Cheers, Ade.

If someone in Nazi-era Germany produced such a piece of what they termed "Kitsch", I can well imagine that they would be having a visit real soon from a big black car full of men in long overcoats...The Nazi's made plenty of "junk", but the did quite seriously frown on cheap "Kitsch".... William

William makes a nice point.

The early Nazi Party was actaully quite prepared to sell "Kitsch". Swastikas were stuck on anything. It made money which the Party needed at the time. But once Hitler had come to power all this was put behind them, as Adolf wanted to be seen as a patron of the finer arts.

Cheers, Ade.
