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!

1820's @ the latest, JMO, so lets see what the guys say! BTW, why would you date a razor, arent girls good enough for you?
It is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled. Twain

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......)
