    Default Id help with this razor.

    Good Day to all of you Gentlemen in this forum.
    Can you tell me about this old razor?
    Is it an old pipe razor or am I thinking wrong?
    all help appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry, absolutely no idea what the makers mark is. Seems to be a very nice condition stub tail whomever made.

    It almost looks like an 18th century bayonet and scabbard....

    It is not the traditional Wosty pipe. I am not sure what it is. Bongo may be right. It does look like a nice stub tail, so likely late 17's early 18's. There is something not quite right with the tang shape though, I cannot put my finger on it. I'm sure one of the guy that are into the very historical razors will be here soon enough.

    It is a gorgeous old razor.

    No idea of the maker or the mark.
