Any rare straights?

By far my rarest is a complete 7 day set of MK31s

Don't know if anyone can identify this. The blade is etched with "The Crown Prince Of Russia" and is apparently #800.
Any help would be appreciated.

here's one from Sweden. Little bit of sanding and put theses horn turtles on it. Took for ever to hone and it shaved OK. No cuts no razor burn but I feel it should be sharper. I believe it's before 1900.
 
And from earlier in the thread, guess this is the other one....:)

I just looked on eBay and apparently almost every razor listed there is rare!
And those listings usually share the same description: “This razor is a must-have for any shaving enthusiast. Purchase this piece to elevate your collection or to gift to a fellow collector. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of history.”, even if the razor is worth next to nothing.

I have a very rare 1952 Super Speed without end caps.

These are rare because the end caps don't usually fall off.
I think the rarity comes in because it is rare for normal people to think they could get $1000.00 for a rusty, chipped piece of junk worth $1.50
