Anybody else have a bleckman?
Negative, but if you accidentally mis-spelled the name (Bleckman vs. Bleckmann), this might be the manufacturer (and you will find quite a bit of info - including pictures - using google):J. E. Bleckmann, Solingen 48From: http://edocs.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/vol...lt_1911_23.pdf.
Gegründet 1808 o Fabrik und Export-Geschäft.
Abt. I: Sämtliche Solinger Stahlwaren, Messer, Scheren, Rasiermesser usw.
Abt. II: Alle Arten Werkzeuge, Zangen, Feilen, Sägen usw.
Abt. III: Haus- und Küchengeräte.
I just picked up one from the local Salvo's store.
It says Bleckman (don't think there's an extra n) and Made in Germany (or German made- I'll check later, I don't have it front of me).
Also found following link that might be related:

There's a Bleckman Solingen marking in this list.
Will describe my razor later when I'm at home.
All the best,
Michael.
Corrections to description:
On tang:
Bleckman
German make
Has Bow and arrow symbol on tang.
Blade - seems in good condition - tarnished and needing a hone.
Scales - black and chipped
VERY interesting information - thank you! Where do you come up with such obscure stuff?
Here is another web page with RZM codes and German makers marks: http://germandressdaggers.com/Maker%20marks.htm
There is a thread "razor in your language" somewhere. It helps. In this case, asking google for "bleckman +rasiermesser" did the trick.
I've got a Bleckmann - not a Bleckman. The extra 'n' was hidden by the scales and lots of tarnish. (So now there are 2 Aussies with Bleckmanns!)
Just got it back from Oz / Onimaru 55, who has cleaned it up properly and given it a hone - looking very nice now. I'm looking forward to my first shave with it in the morning.
All the best,
Michael.
