Please tell Joan her efforts are much appreciated. This razor will not be sold, rather I will be framing it and use as a display in my home.

BTW, is the document that Joan accessed available to the public? I would like to include it in our Library/Wiki and here on SRP as a "Sticky".

No these documents are not accesible to the public. Joan Unin is the keeper of the markbooks of the Hallamshire cutlers company. Accesible are only the well known printed directories by Sketchley's 1774, Gales & Martin 1787 and Robinson 1797 and some past 1800 directories of Sheffield cutery.

Randy you might also find this one helpful.

It is more geared towards tableware but I have found some useful information on razor makers from their marks. I didn't see this specific one. However, near the end is a description of the marks and the name of the cutler associated with it. It may be of use in the future.
