I hadn't thought of that John, and it is quite possible. I know that Ern made razors for Sears later on, and they were marked 'Germany.'

Well that was the one I heard it in looks like there may be more hehehe

I read one thing that said that it was acceptable to use a sticker to mark the country of origin. Has anyone else heard of this?

Maybe it had a sticker on it that isn't there anymore?
