New guy with an old razor...

[Menhir]

I'm glad I found this place. I dumped my plastic disposables and started shaving a while ago with a old Gillette safety razor and, while searching though some old stuff I had put away, came across a straight razor I've ignored for many years.

I've been doing a lot of web searching, but I'm not sure exactly what I have and where to go from here. On the case is "The Crown and Sword Razor Works Wald Solingen" though I am not sure the case actually goes with the razor.

The razor is sharp, clean looking with a few very small rust spots. On one side is stamped "GEBR.BELL SOLINGEN GR. GERMANY" and on the other side
"50 King Bell" with the image of a moose or an elk.

The scales are missing. I would like to restore this and put it to good use, but I'd like to find out more about it and possibly, what the original scales may have looked like.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
