Thanked: 15Four Crowns Razor with Steel Scales
I picked this razor up recently, while restoring I noticed what looked like steel bushes pressed into the pivot holes (of the apparently plastic scales).
Went to check they were steel (with a magnet) only to realise that the scales are plastic cast around a steel core.
I can't find anything on Four Crowns razors - I seem to remember seeing something, somewhere that they might have been made by Goedecke but, of course, I can no longer find the reference.
Markings are as the photo (nothing on the reverse) "THE FOUR CROWN RAZOR", "EXTRA HOLLOW GROUND" on the blade. "FORGED AND REAL, HOLLOW GROUND, IN GERMANY" on the tang.
The method of scale manufacture would suggest this razor is a lot newer than a lot of the styling cues would suggest, anyone seen anything like this before?
