NOS Means New Old Stock...In Other Words Old Model of SR in New Unused Condition... (y)

So then "an old forging, ground from grinders no longer in operation and sat as finished product unsold some decades" and "an old forging, but not ground in its original time of production due to falling demand" are equally "NOS", then?

To some those are two very different things.

The latter is offered by multiple French parties [and not marketed in any way as "NOS"].

Time...If thats What You Mean...But..NOS Generally Means...New Old Stock...Some Sellers Dont Advertise Em as Such Due to Uncertainties about the Razors/Blanks Past Etc..Some Sellers Once they have Been Honed Dont Call Em NOS Either...Depends on the Seller.... (y)

If the item wasn't 100% produced in the past it should be openly stated. Writing "NOS" implies to many the contrary. The sellers certainly should know if *grinding* occurred then or now, anyone who does not is not very serious about their wares. Obviously any firm that's doing grinding and also retailing knows damn well the answer here.

Perhaps there should be a more accurate description - it is somewhat misleading. I bought 2 shave ready "NOS" sheffield razors from an East European Ebay seller a while back. Clearly the scales were newly made and not original, the blade had been polished and an edge put on. It wasn't a problem to me the razors had zero hone wear and the edge was as near new as can be with a shave ready edge. I feel I was buying razors that were newly assembled and had not had any use or wear. They are two of my favourites.
