Thread: Svenskt stål/Swedish steel

Another fine piece of important SWEDISH history


C v heljestrand with metal scales, ingraved Elfsborgs Regemente

What's the stamp on that Heljestrand? Size?

These Swedish razors with stainless scales where primarily made for medical/hospital use, the smalle ones where used to prep areas for surgery etc. while the larger ones probably where used to shave patients that where unable to do it themselves.

I had a Heljestrand 924 F.L. (För lasarett/for hospital) a small 4/8 wedge, but a great shaver still

Which stamp Do you mean my friend?

John Sundwall, Swedish Razor.

On the reverse side of the tang.

Nothing, other side is totally clean.

Interesting, haven't seen many Heljestrands without a model number.

For those that have the CVH MK 31 and 32 can you tell me what the difference is between them?

Mk 31 is 5/8, 32 is 6/8

The size, the 32's bigger than a 31.
