    Very interesting razor. Are there any makers marks on the off side of the tang? Looks like a stand #14 blade so you might find some info here http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor.../65514-14.html . The three crosses have a very significant meaning in the Christian religion so at a guess it was a model made to be marketed in areas that spoke Spanish. That is just a shot in the dark and it will be interesting to see what the more knowledgeable members can some up with.

    Las Cruces= The Crosses

    Calidad Superior= Superior Quality

    I suspect it was made for the S American market.

    Three Crosses would be Tres Cruces.

    Nice looking razor.

    As far as putting a manufacturer's name to a Three Crosses razor, I have this one made by Johann Breidohr, Solingen Germany. I believe this one is 8/8 and is a great shaver. I would never let this razor go for any reason.
