    Hi there. The maker's mark looks identical in size and style to my own pre-Dovo Bismarck razor which I obtained recently and which was boxed (Bismarck, Made in Germany) with the supplier's name embossed.

    Here is my only Bismarck, pre-Dovo. It is marked "Saturday". Heavy bone handles. Sure wish I had the whole set!

    I believe the original company forged Bismark Razor Works but this is probably one of theirs too.

    The Fritz Bracht/DOVO brands owned today.

    The following brand names or companies were taken over:
    1952 - brand name "Tennis" (open razors)
    1957 - brand name "Bismarck" (open razors)
    1957 - brand name "Ankerflagge" (open razors) from the Carl Rader company
    1968 - Erich Hartkopf company. The scissors were jointed by pocket knives of the brand name "Teufelskerle"
    1969 - brand name "Kronpunkt" (open razors) from the Heups company
    1970 - brand name "Fontana" (open razors)
    1973 - Heups & Hermes company (pedicure clippers and instruments)
    1996 - Merkur company (shaving equipment) --> more information on Merkur products

    Regarding the box, on the back is the name F.F. Hille, Hamburg; I assume this is the shop supplying the razor.
