Thread: HELP!!! Can't find this anywhere!

Just picked this up and I can't find any info on it. I have spent several hours on Google trying to find something even similar with no luck. A history lesson and a value would be much appreciated!!!!

Nice looking razor. Cant help with info maybe try the database. We don't do valuations on the site so cant help there either. Good luck

Bard's could very well be a retailer that sold the razor. Lots of retailers sold razors that were stamped with their name on them.

I too have no help to offer, but I wanted to tell you that's a beauty

Yes, that would be my guess also. The shape of the blade looks vaguely familiar. I am thinking that if it was made in Germany it may have been made by Boker as a wild stab in the dark. See this link http://strazors.com/uploads/images/a...anada_1898.pdf and scroll down to the last razor illustrated.

It is stamped germany. What do you mean database? The list of manufacturers? That was no help either!

It was very common for retailers like hardware stores and barber supply houses to have razors made in Germany with their business names stamped on them and no manufacturers name. If that is the case you will likely never know who actually made the razor. Finding any razors exact date of production is mostly nearly impossible too even if you know who made it.

Here's an Antelope that I had at one stage.



Here's the reverse side but I can't make out the name.

As tom said earlier it is an Griffon Antelope Diamond Steel sold under the name bards. Possibly a retailer. Absolutely great razor and currently one of my favorites if not favorite in my current rotation. Nice hard steel that takes a great edge and holds it.
