Fancy razor unknown maker
A fancy razor by an unknown Sheffield maker. The makers stamp is very light and struck unevenly. The makers name was mostly ground off when the upper bevel of the tang was ground. What remains is not legible. The remaining reads silver steel Sheffield. Based on blade and scale shape the razor likely dates 1830's - 1840's. It is restored in its original finish with glazed blade faces and crocus finished spine and tang. Unfortunately the etch on the fancy spine Superior Silver Steel was lost during the restoration. The scales are ivory with the original flower shaped silver collars. This is the first razor in ivory scales I have seen with collars. Generally they are pinned collarless like tortoise scales. The in process pictures show the blade faces off the 600 grit belt and the bevel set.
