Interesting to say the least, any chance of a nice pic of the shank to help with identification?

Roy, the shank is unremarkable. Just lists P McGivney, Dublin. Nothing on the reverse side.

Just thinking that perhaps the way it's stamped may have differed between the years and or father/son.

I think all of the razors stamped Ireland and Dublin I have seen are Sheffield-made and stamped for old retailers there having not heard of any razor makers there. Certainly there were ironmongers and cutlers. The blade etching looks sort of Irish. It might have significance.
Perhaps someone will know. Is there something on the tang before the name?

Other than I am intrigued I have not much to say on the subject. Perhaps a quick PM to Martin. He has not been hanging around much but he does respond to his PM’s.
