Where the pin goes through the tang, it was made ticker in a circular shape (especially at the under side of the tang), I believe this also is rather typical for VERY old razors, also the typical notch at the spine towards the tang in better seen in these pics
Here are mine for reference (a few of these I no longer own - one went to Zak, one went elsewhere).

Got this interesting looking ancient Spencer razor. I believe these are the original scales since there is a word stamped on the washers saying "W SPENCER" from what it looks like..Can anyone help to identify the maker? Maybe the date as well?

Incredible looking razor for sure, scales and washers are somewhat unusual yet so nice. Anyway there was a William Spencer 1795-1852 listed from Sheffield on Allen Street that would probably fit the time period of this razor.

I just drool over these older than me razors.
Hi guys (and girls) !
I just recently acquired a rusty but kinda unused razor:

I have to say that oldie is pretty big: 15/16 wide (not that uncommon), but the edge is 3' 11/32 long (8.5 cm), which is by far the longest blade I own (it beats hands up my 1820's 3' 1/4 Greaves or Joseph Elliot).
Does anybody know a maker whose trademark (or name) was SPAIN ? I know form 1787 directories that Benjamin Withers' trademark was ESPAGNE (Spain in french), but I can't find SPAIN specifically.
From the shape and the typicall dip-at-toe, I date that baby from 1770-1780 (maybe older ?) but I would be grateful to have any more infos.
