Thread: Weyer / Solingen vintage razor

Hello. I have A razor stamped weyer / solingen and its supposed to have belonged to A man om my family how lived 1691 - 1745 so its quite old. The handel is ivory with silver «threads»
I cant figure out how to attach pictures in this post, but im curious to know if someone has information about this knife.
Im from Norway and so is my relative. He was A leuitant in the army so probably he aqquired thai some place in europe, maby germany?
Appreciate if someone have som information for me 😄

Solingen definitely makes it German, but without pics it's going to be difficult.

Yes, I would definitely like to see pictures!

1691 - 1745 ?
I seriously doubt the story, but I would be absolutely delighted if I was wrong.
Now I am really, really curious to see some pics

You definitely need to send some picture of this razor. the story seems unreal, from the description it sounds like its a razor from the 1800's. German razors from that time period are extremely rare and usually they are stamped with the makers mark, looking forward to see it.

If your screen looks like this then you are on the mobile site and it will not be the same.


Actually I have never loaded pics from the mobile site so I'm not even sure how to. Go all the way to the bottom and click the button that says "Full Site" and those directions will work

Hope this pictures works
Im not sure if i trust the story either because my mum tells a lot of tales about her familiy.
Looking forward to hear from you guys!

I used my phone earlier, so thats why i werent abel to upload pictures.
Thanks for guiding me!

G Theegarten was a manufacturer in the early 20th century. Incorporated in 1925. Nice razor but sorry to say it would not fit the timeline you heard. My regrets to tell you but it is still a nice piece or was. It has been honed out and has a heel hook. But this means it was well used.
Hopefully you will find out more about its history
