Hi Guys,
This is my first post so I apologize in advance.
I have recently purchased a straight razor with the markings "Wade Wingfield and Rowbotham Sheffield" on the "tang".
I have researched it a bit and if I'm not mistaken, the company dropped the Rowbotham in 1852.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
What is confusing, is on the blade, it is acid etched with "Australian Red Cross" - the Red Cross was established in Australia in 1914.
If anyone reading this could shed some light, I'd be much appreciative.
Kind regards,
Ray.
