Welcome!! Great story
That's REALLY rusty, I wouldn't try it until all that red rust is off of there, that's a tetanus breeding ground.

Welcome and great story great find. I am hoping it cleans up nice for you and you find out why your father swore by it.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Hey welcome to the forum! I really happy for you that you found the razor, I know I would be happy, rust or no rust
It looks to me like a Dubl Duck. A pretty sought after razor from what I know!
Hope it cleans up OK and most of all hope it shaves well!

Edit: Whoops, looks like i spoke too soon, realized those are not ducks on the scales at all! Not sure what that razor is actually, maybe someone else might!Last edited by Kefka; 04-24-2013 at 12:00 AM.

a little steal wool reveled what looks like a shield with crossed swords and a torch in the center. it reads "prima solingen" in a ribbon on both sides of the shield Originally Posted by Kefka

Yeah I know the emblem you are talking about alright, have seen it on a few Dovo blades. Basically means "Top Quality/Finest Solingen". Solingen is the place it was made in Germany. Randy is spot on about Kissing Crane for sure though, if you look it up you will find razors and knives with that emblem on them.
Enjoy!

Yup, Robert Klas is the mfg & Kissing Cranes is the brand.
