Thread: Identify Razor

What a great site! Please help me identify this razor that I picked up in a 2nd hand store this weekend. It came with a box. I'm not sure if this is the correct box. I also purchased a 4 sided hone/strop combination leather/stone. The dealer said that the razor was from the early 1900's. The markings are as follows:
A.B.C. Barber Supply
Washington, D.C.
Made in Germany

The box is printed:
Ludo Shear & Razor Works
SOLINGEN GERMANY
149 9/16
SKILLCRAFT
Hand-Made
The scales/handles have a wreath overlay on the top (both sides) and The United States Capital building on the bottom (both sides). The blade is very sharp and in very good condition with no pits. I paid $*****. On second thought, I'll save that info. for later!
Thanks for giving a FNG a hand!

I like it - a lot!!

Impossible to say if the box has anything to do with the razor but I would guess its a typical Solingen razor made for a shop in Washington. It should be great quality and appears to be in good shape.
