hmm I'm wavering and not confident in anything now .. I would stick to my guns but the K in clark just isn't there unless its a misprint . It came with another strange razor, a Cadman but i cannot make out the markings , faded and weird looking..

Unless otherwise adequately convinced go with the gut.

The Gilbert brothers Father was called "Thomas" and he was a cutler?

Also found this / the "K" could represent Kent?
