FOUND! "Christoffersen WEDGE"
On my way to drop some books off at a consignment store this morning, I arrived 15 min before they opened, so I dropped into a nearby antique store and found a 4/8ths wedge by C. Christofferson of Minneapolis, MN. It was in great shape, aside from some scratches, and a lot of mung in the scales.... some hot water and MAAS for the scales, some 0000 steel wool for the blade...
And the best part? This little 4/8ths beauty is a WEDGE!

Nice grab. I've had the pleasure of shaving with a few German wedges and it was always... a pleasure.
