Here is my contribution. I have no idea what make. It is fully functionalble. Looks like ebony scales and the pins are tight. Let me know if anyone knows anything about this razor, age, make or origin.

Very nice! Can you read the stamp? Maybe a picture of the tang with the stamp could help!

Unfortunatly there are no marks on the tang. There is what appears to be a half cresent mark one side of tang but I can't tell if it is a marking or just a gash

I think it's a french one of the late XVIII° century, and the scales must be made of dark horn. Originally Posted by ItalianJoe

my contribution
8/8 Greaves which im guessing is 1815? not sure so any help is appreciated! I have cleaned up the blad, but have not found new scale material yet. I am replacing the scales as the ones on it did not fit the blade and were pretty much toast.
