Yep, I haven't found any clues.
The mark "Crown over E" has been used on firearms manufactured in St Etienne, France, where there also has been razor production. But this must be a Sheffield made razor, considering the over-all look, and the Sheffield town mark being a crown.
Possibly a cutler who's name begins with an E...

It almost certainly isn't Sheffield and it probably isn't French.

Nils Grönstrand did use the E crown pipe stamp. I haven't seen one where the stamp or razor looked like that, but that doesn't mean anything. The top razor is one and I have a similar one shape and all but my stamp is unreadable other than the pipe.
Two razors stamped with a pipe, made by Nils Grönstrand who was a knifesmith, grinder and champion in Eskilstuna Fristad. In 1801 he was elected councilor in Eskilstuna. Note the Fristad stamp, crown E, on the upper knife. Eskilstuna Stadsmuseum. Photo: Torbjörn Eriksson.
Here is mine.

The whole Sweedish cutlery/tool production story is an interesting one, that produced some great Knives, Razors and edge tools.
I have recently been collecting Erick Anton Berg chisels and plane blades. (Shark stamp) they are super hard good steel, even the handles were hand made of select, burled birch. His razors are also shavers.

Wow thanks, I'd say the mark on the upper one is as identical as they come, just not as distict due to wear or hone over the years.
