    Yes but from the look of the blade I would say closer to 1830, either way a good looking razor close to 200 years old, Enjoy!

    Cheers Michael, working on restoring it, blade just needs sanding, scales just a soaking in oil, not going to sand them in fear of taking off carving, then new rods & washers, peening & honing. Then display case amongst the rest lol

    I couldn't just display that beauty of a stubby. I would have to hone it up and shave with it just once, at least.

    If you look closely at the scales (you may need a loupe) you may be able to see a set of initials pressed into the horn. At the time scales would have been likely made by a hafter from a separate firm, and with the pressed horn scales they often put some initials in a tiny spot. Zak (Voidmonster) has a lot of knowledge there.
