A unsual Heljestrand B K 42, I´ve never seen a Helje marked with B K before. It´s allways M K before the number/s or nothing. Anyhow, I got lucky once more 
. Woohooo. Maybe it was made for another market than Sweden? Other than the marking it looks like a Helje M K 42 to me though. And get this: it was shave ready. I didn´t see that one coming. I did as I usually do with a new find, tried it on the arm and the hair just melted away without any pulling what so ever , I stropped it and tried the HHT ... popped the hair without any violin playing, just one short stroke in one direction and it broke into two pieces 6/8, sits in at 12/16 perfect - wich prob. means it has bean used very little.
I´m sure Neil has more to say about this one though and prob. I´m wrong all the way, in the little speculation I did.
