The pillar pack you have to look closely - it will say "Made in the United Kingdom" on the left side as you look at it with the dispensing hole towards you. If they're German ones that look very similar in the pillar, it'll have the Solingen address on the package.
The UK factory (Cramlington) closed in 2000 so the stocks are dwindling - it's amazing there are any still out there actually.

If the packs have been removed from the pillar pack then the easy way of telling is:
If the Gold '5' is above the writing they are UK-made - if it is below they are German made.
Go for UK if you can find them, German at a push but avoid the 'classic' ones as they're no better than Merkurs.

The lady in the prarmacy "thought" they they were £1.20 each but was not sure. I know the owner very well and am sure he will bend on price to take them off his hands.
What is a good proce for these packs?
