    Default Trouble IDing Razor ERN Sword no crown

    Hello.. The usual trying to get more info about a razor.. Found this in a lot of ten razors from a Barbers estate in Barstow, ca... I plan on restoring a few of them.. A few are far too gone... Will post pics on progress later...

    This one specifically is annoying in nailing down as it's in new unused condition, but in thought it was a sword and crown.. But there is no crown... Any info on manufacturer and years would be great.. Thanks.

    There is certainly evidence of Ern razors without the crown like on the picture below, and also the trademark from Ern persian was only a sword. More then likely later production 1920-30.

    Archiving industry have a note on: SCHWERT: C Friedrich Ern (schwert = sword)
    This is the only note I have found.
    No year or date.

    The tang markings seem to match the white scaled razor with Spanish on the blade... German production post monarchy seems to make since that the crown would not be present, but I don't know if that is the reason... Just my rationale..
