    Now that looks NOS to me, very sweet find. The razor is stamped Germany and the $3.00 price new seems to indicate it pre dates Germany's post WWII partition. You might want to search who used the trade mark "The Conqueror" to find out who made it. Enjoy the razor.

    I did some quick searching through the trademark db and nothing popped up. I'll keep looking.

    I found this in John Walter's German Bladesmiths pub by Koll Moll:



    Nothing was listed under 'The Conqueror'...

    Apparently Carl Eikhorn did make straight razors http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...le-advice.html . Learn something new every day as I always associated Eickhorn with swords and daggers but not straight razors.
