Need help with an old Sheffield razor.
I got one old razor that looks like it's got a Royal stamp on it. But I can't identify the manufacturer. There is a barely discernible engraving on the blade. It looks like there's a vignette of flowers and a couple of words that look like "six bits". Maybe someone has the same razor or information about the manufacturer?

The crown over V R is for Victoria's Reign.
As for the design, can't make it out clearly.
Could be any Sheffield manufacturer before they started putting their stamp on it.

It seemed to me that during this period everyone was already putting the brand of the manufacturer.

What's on the other side of the tang, anything? I assume not due to the lack of pics of it.

Not the expert... but my guess is it is an apprentice razor, or otherwise made by other than the shopowner.
