Thread: Need help decipher the symbols on the razor

Need help deciphering: what do the symbols on the razor mean?
Please tell me in what years the razor was made?
Many thanks.

A Sheffield English razor made pre 1895 but post 1860. No idea on the symbols, Ive never seen those before

Thank you. Please tell me about another razor: in what years the razor was made?

Looks like the former owner added those symbols .Does not look like the work of Joesph Rogers

The 2nd one says "England" on the blade so roughly post 1895

They had to start putting country of origin on razors roughly 1895, so if it only says Sheffield it's roughly pre 1895. I might be off on the year +/- 2 years

The celluloid scales on the second razor are not original to the blade. They kind of look like they may have come off of a French blade.
