    Default Help dating a razor Please!

    I got this razor in a shipment from France, from what I have learnt the straight scales & curved blade puts it around the mid 1800’s or earlier!

    The blade is a wedge with a barbers notch & 5/8” at its deepest.
    It has no tail & doesn’t appear to have had one broken off.
    The rivets are steel with large copper washers & the scales look very much like ivory although dark it has a definite grain viewed under a magnifying glass.
    No name on the tang.
    All comments gratefully received!

    I have a couple like that - don't think they're quite as old as I first thought but reckon a good date would be 1840 at the very latest! (if you want to sell it, PM me - I'm a sucker for these old things......)
