Thread: What´s it?

More images than text, im hurry now, but later I´ll explain more tings about this razor, what´s your opinion?

Regards

More time, this razor was into a lot of french, geman and english ones I buyed, most of them aroun 1850, one wade and butcher V.R. with the wasers in flower, is a little smaller than I´m used to see maibe a 4 1/3 or a bit bigger, to be honest it habe not a regular mesure, well the letters are, like you can see, quite dificult to read and it habe two strage simbols, I seems an 18th century ones but like ever, I need the help of the masters, all ideas will be interesting because I habe no one, thanks to all for see it and I wait your opinios, regard and many thanks

Novody dare?

Can you get a closeup of the small marks next to the symbol? They look like the tops of letters.

Of course, but my camera is not too good in zoom

Can you get a closeup of the symbols?

Sadly, the best I can do is say it's probably French.

Maybe....., I´m not sure, the mixture in the lot was from an french owner, my poor opinion the simbols are a coat of arms with five circles into and another oval with two swords behind....but french or not for me razors made befor 1800 are all similars and interestings, many of the examples that we conserv are brits and french, and the french ones haben´t this pecurliarities, mainly I want to know if my datation is provabli, 1750--1770, a good and interesting mistery to solve....a riddle, regard

I think that's a pretty good guess for the age. Maybe more like 1750-1780.

France is most likely where it was made. None of the English razors I've seen from the period have no tail at all, but it was a common design for French razors, like this one:
