I saw one on ebay and have no idea what the signifigance of "new" happens to be. Thanks.

If it is the auction where the sellers name begins with smart, I would avoid them. I purchased a razor from them a couple of months ago and about 30 emails, 4 packages, and 1 month later, I finally got what I ordered. Good price for the razor I wanted, but definitely not worth the hassle.

As for the razors, they appear to be techs. The "new" moniker probably is refering to the fact that they are "newer" models...probably late 70's vintage.

Achim (Mr-Razor), has a pic of one from 1979 here

I gathered that these are NOS Techs - likely late 60s into the 70s. Aluminum handles.

Did this particular razor have an open comb or bar?

yep, they look like aluminum handled techs. Just another case of a seller who has no idea what they are selling.
