    I think this is a Marshes and Shepherd, there is no name remaining on the tang. But the shape and style seem to point that way.

    The biggest Razor, I ever seen - a Marshes & Shepherd

    You appear to have mounted an ax head in your razor scales.

    Do any of you think this posably a Marshes & Shepherd ? Many of the design features I see from the above pics point to this conclusion, but this is the only mark on the razor...

    My bet would be that yes, it is a Marsh Bros. / Marshes & Shepherd. I think that trace of mark remaining is part of the crown of the royal cipher which Marsh Bros. habitually stamped, sideways on, on the tangs of their razors.
