    I got this cute little guy at an antique fair. It has a strange profile, unlike other Elliot blades that I have seen. Have any of you esteemed gents seen one like her? Thanks guys.

    I’m thinking regrind. It is a nice razor and it has been done quite well.

    I agree with Rezdog. Looks like some owner reshaped it.

    Regrind was the first thing I thought of when I looked at it. It was probably done quite awhile ago and by someone that knew what they were doing.

    I have seen a tang like that on other razors, though I don't know if I've seen one on an Elliot.

    And I also believe that was an old regrind.

    First thing that came to mind was lyrics from a song "Hey monkey get funky" But nice touch on the tang.

    I also lean to regrind, but it may well just be a late one (1880's) with a 'retro' stamp. I've never quite been able to sort out likely dates for the styles of stamps on Elliot razors, other than the simplest one to figure out (Elliots with a hammer symbol date from *after 1818 to probably no later than 1825, it was an official mark to show it was hand forged rather than made in a mold).

    It's a very neat blade pattern though!
