    Perhaps the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch?

    I completely agree with Thaeris. French, very early 1800's, ivory and silver.

    The famous plaque of cutlers marks in Châtellerault has several that are similar, but those marks are only useful for guessing whether or not it was made in Châtellerault, since they don't record the names of the people who struck them. Plus, I believe those marks are quite old. Pre-1700.

    I've misplaced the link to the page of marks from the Thiers region, or I'd check there too.

    I feel confident that the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch at one time was filled with Chambord.

    My take on this razor is that its French probably late 18th century by the blade design. Finding a maker for this type of mark is very difficult without a name attach to it.

    Most of the records of french marks (poincon) from Thiers go back to early 19th century. I know Zak (Voidmonster) will love this, but its very possible that its from the region of Chattelleraux, some of the marks on the copper plate look very close.

    It would appear we were posting at the same time, Martin.

    FYI the marks on the copper plate are from 1698 to 1899.

    Ah! I didn't realize they went that late. VERY good to know!

    Any idea why some of the marks were effaced?
