    Default Kissing Bird Trademark

    Does anyone have any information on this trademark? A nice near wedge 7/8 blade that will finish up into a great razor but I can find no information on the maker. Sure looks like a Sheffield.

    But it's a German razor.
    Cürten & Höltgen. Solingen in 1932. Brand names: 'Colombi', 'Monte Rosa'.

    I looked for the trade mark on your site. It was one of the first places I went. If it was there I missed it. Thank you Manah. Can't say as I see many near wedges with faux tortoise scales from Germany and this late too.
