    Default Sportsman brand??

    Anybody know about the Sportsman brand or trademark?

    I have large 13/16 model 720/1. I seached for some information about it's manufacturer and history with no luck. Maybe a Mozart or Ern? It was bought in 70's.

    Does it say where it was manufactured? Country of origin is typically the best stepping off spot.

    The only other thing I can think of is to ask in a German razor forum.

    You could always try emailing https://www.revisor-solingen.de/index.php/en/razors
    They have a massive catalogue of NOS Solingen razors many of which are from unknown brands.

    Has a Boker look, about it. Shoulders are ground like a Dovo.

    Hmmm....I haven't found anything, either.
