A little help please
Stumbled across this razor in a friend's collection , and he's more old school with technilogy.(I've exhausted all options I know of, and a friend recommended this site) We are trying to determine the language on this razor. Any and all input is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

When you figure it out, let the rest of us know. OK?

Thanks for such quick replies!
So now that we've potentially concluded that it's a possible copying.of oriental characters. Should this be the case, what other information could I provide to get an idea of age, and maybe value?

Lets start with a picture of the whole razor, blade open, and good clear picture of the tang ( skinny part between the blade and the hinge pin) stamp. Originally Posted by reyemevets

We don't do values, hit the "Advanced" search button, upper right, not the GOOGLE search block,,, put in "Wade & Butcher" in the key word section,,, this will give you all the information on Wade & Butcher that you need. Enjoy the journey,,,,

Several razor makers produced so-called "Chinese razors" that were etched with nonsense characters. I suspect that your razor is one of those.
