That was you was it? I was watching those, but then they were gone. Those English Wilkinson Swords are pretty sought after (especially with original packaging) and have a great reputation. I should have whacked in a bid, so more fool me!

BBC News announces the closure of Wilkinson Sword Razor Blade factory

The factory was closed in 1998 (see article above) so that will put them at last 15 ish years old.

Nice purchase... enjoy them..
