First post! Found a razor I have never heard of

Hello all, Dave Huffman here from St. Joseph Illinois. I have been into knives for several years & am getting ready to open a sharpening & repair shop.
I picked up a older razor with horn scales. Pretty rusty but I have taken care of most of that.
From what I can read the engraving says R & N Gall Co. Anyone heard of this company? I looked in the 1000 Razors book with no luck & several other places.
This blade is VERY sharp after a touch up on the hone & strop. I know I need to get pictures on here but my wife is teaching me.
Any info. would be a big help!

Welcome to SRP Dave, I've not heard of that one either. Someone may be along who has. Straight Razor Place Library:Books/Beginners Guide - Straight Razor Place Library

Welcome to SRP, Dave! Can't help with your ID problem, but hopefully someone will come along who can. Good luck with your shop! :)

Welcome to SRP!
I've never heard of R&N Gall before. Rust hasn't by some chance made the word Bengall look that way has it?

I'm prepared to put a small amount of money on this being correct without even seeing a picture.

Could it be "Bengall" ?

Makes sense I see the R being a B. Thanks All!
This razor looks pretty bad but man is it sharp. New scales & this could be my number one blade!
I had a pretty good flea market weekend, Got the Bengall, A Joseph Allen & sons, aHamilton Hollow Ground & aShumates Tungsten all for around $60.00

Gotta love those flea markets! Have fun with your new razors.

Good work, Slawman! Welcome! Now get up there to the beginner's forum and introduce yourself to everyone! ;)

Welcome. I look forward to seeing a picture. It helps us help a lot.

Glad to have you aboard!
