This razor design was patented in 1850 by Wostenholm. If you look closely at the diamond shaped stamp on the tang it gives the patent date.

Thank you!

That is cool. Love the scales, I think a bit of neatsfoot massaged in would brighten them up without hurting the gold, but I'd check first, or just test a small spot.

Nice looking razor. Great pick up. Nothing like a Wostenholm the most under rated razor out there. Show some pictures when you finish. Good luck.
