Hi
Can anyone help me identify an eagle clutching a snake on the tang of my razor? Is it a manufacturers make/logo? Also what does the numbers mean? Is it the year made or part of the manufacturers stamp? The razor is a hamburg ring - try me.....
any info would help please....thanks
I've got an ERN Blue Steel with an eagle very similiar to that.
Its a symbol found on Mexican coins! Maybe these razors were marketed for Mexico!?

yes it does look nearly the same...do you know if it is a makers mark?? does anyone know what it means??
The illegible text to the left of the eagle is:
C. Friedr. Ern
Wald-Germany
Highest Award
I don't know if "Highest Award" has anything to do with the eagle, but it's an idea.:shrug:
could be...mine does not say anything like that though...its just bugging me what is mean lol...
thanks for your input...

This thread has some info, but no pictures, about C. Friedr Ern.
ERN Solingen Navy Knife - British Blades :: Custom Knife Making
Seems as though C. Friedr Ern had a lot of marks. I guess this is one of them.

I found the following on Wikipedia: "The White-tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla[2]), also known as the Sea Eagle, Erne (sometimes Ern), or White-tailed Sea-eagle is a large bird of prey in the family Accipitridae which includes other raptors such as hawks, kites and harriers."
It makes sense for the eagle to be the symbol of the ERN companies.
