Thanked: 0Help to identify this razor
Hi everyone, new guy here! I've had this razor for a long time and would like to know some history on it. It appears very old and has a heavy blade. Tang stamp says M S Young & Co., Allentown, PA. on the blade there is a picture of an anvil and what looks like T A? Bll HED 1843. On the reverse tang it's marked Germany and a maltese cross. The handle appears to be horn. Maybe Civil War Era? I know M S Young & Co. was a hardware store that started business in Allentown in 1832. Probably this was an import razor, but that stamp with the anvil and letters and 1843, I have no idea what it means! Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
