Thread: Vitry Freres

Just picked this one up and it's quite heavy! I have no idea about it or the maker, looking for any input.

Try this search. Looks like Modèle "No Name" fabriqué par Vitry Frères à Paris, France. Chasses acier - nez français - lame 6/8 non-évidée (type wedg), acier.

TY for the info. I didn't think it was a big deal of a razor but it is quite striking

Old company specialized in the surgical instruments in Nogent.History here

Very interesting razor, like Ferdi mentioned from a very old company founded in 1795, mainly for surgical instrument. More then likely this razor was part of a surgical Kit like the picture below.

Interestingly the scales of this razor are made of "maillechort", a mixture of copper,nickel and zinc, a process invented in 1819 by french workers Maillet and Chorier, hence the given name. Somewhat like the more common "German silver".
