In my opinion it must be one from the period, when Lauterjung changed to Puma. At this razor was nowhere the Puma head. But it came with a Lauterjung box, if I remember right.

@all: Thank you. This ivory really is a challenge. It is not from sibiria from the perma frost. It was found somewhere here in germany. So it is much more fragile. From the very huge piece I have here, only little parts are useable. On every workstep I´m hoping, that I dont will destroy the scales.

Beautiful razor. There's something intoxicating about materials that were already thousands of years old before almost all of human history took place.

Have test shaved this baby - very impressive. It´s the most flexible blade, that I until now hold in my hand. Also the blade is singing very clear and loud, even when you only cut armhairs. I think the handle with the brass wedge work here like a amplifier. Exceptional smooth shave. Definitely one of the best razors I know, perhaps even better than my Puma Gold or Filarmonica Nr. 14.
And I have promise it to an other person
But a word is a word...

Now there's a blend of ancient & vintage !

Speechless
