    The mark seems to be something like "ARANTIA":

    If anyone can throw any light on this one, I'd be grateful. It's doubtful whether this will become a working member of the collection, because the lack of a tang alarms me a great deal.
    I dont know if somebody answered or not but ide bet that reads Garantie wich is warranted in french .........

    Here is an oldie! A Homer. Probably not from 1700's, but very old. Tang is quite thin, Seems a shaver candidate, I am preparing to free it from these cell scales and use some old horn and iron collars to bring it back. Very Homely!

    I remembered seeing a couple pictures recently of circular razors and was able to dig this link up from memory. Look in the history section.

    Someone should add a picture of a straight razor to that page. Nice razor by the way. Really like the old ones.

    It's "Garantie" (for l'acier fondu : cast steel) under it's "à Lantie" ?? it's a name of place, in France in the beginnig of the XIX century, in evry small town were a seller of cutelery objects that was ordering from larger factories razors that bear the factories stamped with his name and/or place.
    The bone's scales on this razor are typical form the 1800-1815 period.
    Langres and Chatelrault was tow cutelery's centers then famous for making razors for every resellers.

    I just noticed - is that spelled wrong? It looks like it says "REFIEND". Is that supposed to be refined?
