Want to Sell REDUCED - EARLY GEM OPEN COMB DAMASKEENE RAZOR, CASED

The Damaskeene Open Comb, sort of a holy grail. Not easy to track this one down. This is one of the earliest versions, a rare, seldom encountered open comb model with a rare case with a latch, original blade holder and paperwork. This razor is in excellent condition. Stamped GEM CUTLERY CO NEW YORK U.S.A. (on the back) and USE ONLY WITH GEM DAMASKEENE BLADES. A unique piece of shaving history. Selling only because I am a mere user and because this unique piece collects dust for years. In my recollections, this OP shaves better than the garden variety, closed comb Damaskeenes (which are excellent razors, do not understand me wrong) and, IMHO, better than Streamline. Asking $200/OBO NOW  $165, shipped, CONUS; if I am off, please, correct me – because this is a really very rare and expensive razor, it is nearly impossible to find a reference point price-wise. Internationals - shipping at costs.
