Hello all,
i bought the following razor on EVILBAY, as stated on the ad it says 42 GARANTIE on 1 side on the other side of the tang it has a circle stamp of a "Stick man" one arm folded the other resting on a large vase or holding a large fish with what appears MADE IN GERMANY. No other markings.
The box it came with states HELMA razor supreme quality and WALD SOLINGEN.
i hope the pics can assist you experts on the make and any other history.

I can't be much help except to say that the Helma I own has Helma and Solingen stamped very prominently on the tang. I don't know whether earlier, later or different models did not.

Brian

The man looks mysteriously like an early version of the Henckels logo... also from Solingen. Possible relation of the companies? Maybe the logo has some historical significance in the town... I don't know. Good luck finding some more info, I was just throwing out an idea.

It looks like the Paul Kohl Fisher Works logo. See the thread in this forum.
