    The stamp is a guide, not a definite, ie: it is a just another clue to be used with all the other clues to tell when the razor was made..

    The stamps were often there before 1890 used as bragging rights


    Also remember that the stamps only "Had" to be there for razors that were made for export..



    You are looking at a complete stamp BTW a Sheffield stamp could simply mean the razor was made of Sheffield steel it needs to have Sheffield England to be of any help at all and again it is just a guide..
