Dad was in the Berlin Airlift and I’m sure he brought these home around that time. I thought about eBaying them, but I really hate eBay with a passion. Any idea of what they are worth and a good place to sell them? These are 100% never used, each has engraving on the back for the day of the week.

German sloingen razors go for (new Dovo) $130 and up.
However you can
Can find them for as little as $75 through your local barber.
So new that would be a $ +/- $1000 for a set of the regular razors.
All the gold inlay on your father's set would be a higher value razor.
I'd love to have that set, but like I said I couldn't pay that.
Another possible resource would be straight razor place forum
