I think I found a vintage hen and rooster

Soooooo.... the listing says Kibitz, and I didn't get to ask the seller cus there was like 30 seconds left, and for just under $10 shipped I pulled the trigger.... I saved and enlarged the picture, and it looks like it is engraved with a Hen and a Rooster, and says in the middle (I think):
______ Hollow Ground (next line) Solingen
What do you guys think?

Sure looks like that...I suspect when cleaned and honed,,,you'll be very happy.

I really hope so. Read somewhere that the vintage ones are great shavers.

Sorry but its not a hen and rooster. Its a Kibitz which as I recall uses a bird of some kind. But still, Kibitz is a quality razor.

How about this one?
L.Herder & Son "6" with a stamp of the han and rooster on its tang.

I think Glen is right - this is the Kibitz trademark:

Gebr. Emde, Solingen, I think.

Hen & Rooster brand is Robert Klass.

Actually Hen and Rooster is bertram. Klaas bought the name many years later after AG Russell lost it to bankruptcy.

Carl Bertram Reinh Solh, Solingen(1865-1975) was the original owner of the "Hahn und Henne"("Hen and Rooster") trademark.
All others(A.G.Russell, Bertram Cutlery, R.Klaas ...) were after.
