Sheffield Straight endorsed on tang "Made Expressly for L F Carter"
Attachment 210654I recently became the owner this beautiful Sheffield straight with no makers name on it. Its 13/16ths with a large thumb notch with jimps. The tang is endorsed " Made Expressly for L F Carter". I am assuming it is from Sheffield, it looks like it. It may be Wade and Butcher as America was a big market for them. I would love to know the history of this razor. I guy named Billy from Texas has owned it for the past ten years and due to the fact that he owns over one thousand straights he cannot now remember where he purchased it. I am hoping that someone with knowledge of this razor reads this as I would like to know its history.
There are no other markings on the razor apart from what I have stated. Sheffield is not written anywhere on the blade I am just guessing it came from there. I just made these horn scales so they are not original.
Thanks
