Thread: Info about this new acquisition? Tula?

Hi all, I recently picked up this straight from eBay because I liked the look of the blade and it looked like a nice vintage user. I haven't been able to find anything about Tula. There is German writing on the blade and it came in an H. Boker box, but that doesn't really mean anything. Anybody know anything about this name/brand? I had to re-hone the blade and got it done and had a nice first shave with it, it takes a great edge. The Tula side has the number 600, and the opposite side has GES. GESCH. which is basically either "patented" or "patent pending" in German. The box it came in also has the year 1865 on it, but I'm pretty positive this razor isn't anywhere near that old. I was thinking maybe it might be from the 60's or thereabouts? 1960's that is.









Thanks for any info!
