    Default I Barber? ... Old English razor

    Good morning,

    This razor has "Old English" stamped on the spine. The tang stamp is not clear except that it starts with an "I".
    I just looked at the tang with my microscope. I can make out the next letter as a B followed by an A, the next 2 letters are unknown and the last 2 letters E and R. So, I Ba??er. Barber?

    The tail/tang is rather coarse in shape and shorter and wider than another John Barber razor that I have.
    The spine is not flat nor fully rounded. Just a very slight rounding.
    The scales are wood and the pins/collars are not matching so I assume they are a replacement.
    The wedge is lead.

    Date range ?
    1800-1850?

    Thanks guys,
