Fund another interesting one in the antique store today.
was in fairly good condition so not too much work required.
Not sure if the blade is any good yet as haven't put it to the hones.
Can anyone assist with the history?
Have been looking for a larger blade to try :)

can't quite make out what it says on the blade and shank. looks like a nice one though. good find
Looks to be in nice shape! I can't zoom in without making the picture fuzzy...can you take a close up of the tang and blade etch?
Nice find. It looks like it reads Garantie Solingen on the tang.
And on the blade
Made in Germany
The Hamburg Ring
Extra Hollow Ground
That's what it says.
Very nice find, I believe you'll enjoy the shave once honed
Yes, very nice find. It will be hard to say exactly who made the razor from the markings. I always looked at a razor stamped like that as a generic Solingen razor. I think I have 2 marked Garantie Solingen and they shave well. Being extra hollow ground I'll bet she will be a noisy shaver too. A quality blade in excellent condition. congrats.

Very nice blade congratulation ! I like the inscription on the blade, should be a good shaver as well.

Did a bit of google digging and this is possibly the maker.
Wilhelm Boos Jun. Solingen: Mangenberger Strasse 315 in 1939. Brand names: 'Hamburg Ring', 'Klingel-Schmied', 'Si Gi'.
Keen to get it on the hones tonight :)
Then there is this little puzzleQuote:

Always hard to understand what went on with blade stamping and markings.
Bob
hahah google has failed me :(
Indeed seems to be a generic stamping.
Store also had a sanssouci blade in fairly good condition, so will pop back in and get this one to fix up :)
I'll further complicate things
