Thread: Does anyone know?

Does anyone know what company has this "W.P." trademark? Thank you!

This one is going to be interesting... I dug through all my references, but I could not come up with the maker.

Hopefully someone else has a razor by this maker and knows the trademark.

Regards

Christian

W. Pötters. Barmen. Brand name: 'Barmenia

This is all I can find. It could be P.W. being the W is larger. I am sure someone will have the answer.

Could be a W. P. SCHARRENBERG. Can you post more pics. What's on the blade? Do you see the words BROUSIL VOLPICH etched on the blade?

here is another pic.

Can't see much on that second pic. What does it say on the blade? Is there anything on the other side? Help us to help you.

If we could see what is under the tape on the blade it would help a whole lot.

To me it looks like a Paul Waldmin from around 1935.
Does it have 2 birds pulling a straight razor on wheels? Also called a double cuckoo I think.

This is what it reads on the blade under the gold: "Solingen W.P. trademark". Nothing on reverse side of blade itself but toward the hinge it has Chinese type writing.

Pictures truly speak a thousand words. Seeing the style of the etchings gives a clue to the maker. And seeing the Chinese type writing is a big help as well.
