I have it on my "still seeking"list and in my saved searches on ebay.I'm sure it's a reputable brand with good steel,but I don't have any specifics for you.

Thanks for trying. Anyway, I think it´s thrilling not finding any data on this one.

I suspect that Mondesir is either a French make or made for the French speaking market. I seem to remember seeing one on eBay and the actual maker was on the reverse of the tang.

Found a little info about that name here:
Razor makers

Walter Königer, Solingen. Brand names: 'Elitas', 'Mondesir', 'Pertutti' (all previously owned by Leopold Sommer). Razor-blade maker.

Leopold Sommer & Co., Solingen in 1932. Brand names: 'Elitas', 'Mondesir', 'Pertutti' (all registered to Walter Königer by January 1940). Razor-blade maker.

Thanks, here we go.
