[QUOTE=SRmanufacture;1399339]My pride:
" Espagne Acier Fondu " and " Pipe " , both made in Sheffield, scales made of cow horn pressed in hot dies . Iron washers have the same design, slightly diferrent domension.
The Espagne not a French razor?
I have a newer, I thought French.

"from Directory of Sheffield 1787"
I think "do." stands for Doncaster, which is in the direct neighbourhood of Sheffield

The marks are very specific, the heart is in the wrong direction.

Don't know much about razors but I have a Sheppard cast steel as seen in this photo. Could you tell me the approximate date it would be? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks. Greg

I believe that particular razor is from the late 1700's, early 1800's Originally Posted by Hineighbor

Some manufacturers had a long span of existence and sometimes it's only subtle blade shape changes that give keys to age. We'd really need a picture of your exact razor to be precise. Is it Shepherd or Sheppard? Originally Posted by Hineighbor
