    Interesting razor! I must say i agree with Zak's, that this blade has been reground at some point in time. Even showing quite a bit of honewear, the new profile could be well over 100 years ago.

    More importantly, what jumps at me is the lack of "Rodgers" famous trademark. More then likely present at this blade birth and ground off for the new profile. I came across many advertisement about "Rodgers" and how crucial it was for them to have their trademark stamped on every blade.

    Furthermore, im drawed to claim that the scales are not even original to this blade, seems like the wedge would be thicker to match the tang and the lack of curves on them, and really not familiar in any way with these large washers on "Rodgers" blade.... Just my observation.
