Welcome to SRP, these high quality French razors with the trademark 42 Garantie/ HB520 are from Henri Beligné, and later & sons (et Fils). This firm was founded in 1610, in Langres, Haute Marne France. For many years recognize as the "Coutelier du Roi" (Cutler to the King) still in Business today and still a family business with the 13th generation of Beligné running the firm. In good condition this is without any doubt a high quality razor from a very reputable firm.
