I have a razor that is very similar to yours, but with no maker's mark other than Solingen. But the trim on the scales is exactly the same. Mine is a "Thursday" razor from a seven-day set.

Honing this up in the next batch :)
Here are my two Solingen's A J.A. Henckels and a Berg Can't wait to shave with them.

Nice razor!! I like your avatar, btw. I know where it is from, that's a good book.
hehe..yea books rule!
That off white (cream colored) Solingen razor was my grandfather in law's original scales that were unfortunately useless as letters were loosened off and created a "finger prick"..wow..memories ;-)

I just entered your nice forum and like to show you one of our Family Relics.
Its a G&E HÄUSGEN made abt.in the 1890s by Gustav & Emil Häusgen, two of our ancestors of the HÄUSGEN family. I got it some years ago from the german Razor collector Martin Adler as a gift in addition to my little G&E Häusgen cutlery collection. I never saw another one... Hope this qualifies...

you couldnt get a better gift , very nice razor
When Allen Davis came out to teach me how to hone razors, he brought a World Master with him to show me what to look for. Recently, I came upon one on the Bay. His, apparently, was a different maker than Pirola. This one came with an obvious set of poor replacement scales, yellow cellulose that had grind marks at the pivot pin where they had been removed from some other razor. I rescaled it in Paduk. I've been experimenting around with 3 pins and thought this one would be nice with the 3rd pin.
