Thanked: 586Please Help me I.D. This Razor
No markings on the blade but what was on the shank is hard to read because of the odd addition of "facial jimps".

Interesting. I had a razor that had the exact same cross hatched jimps on the face of the tang. It was a round point razor with black scales. Mine only had the remnants of a number on it and no discernible makers mark under the cross hatch. Also on mine, the tang was shaped more like a beaver tail; it had an arc on both the top and bottom of the tang.
Why would there be the cross hatching? A factory reject?

I also have a razor with the cross hatch on both sides of the tang. I assumed it was a homemade job for better grip - dunno

I think Monty cracked the code, and I think it is a factory reject of some kind. Look very very closely at the first pic under the cross hatch. I believe I see a backwards E before the R N. I would have thought the brand would have been imprinted from one ERN stamp. If my eyes are not deceiving me and someone screwed up and turned a single E stamp upside down, then I would think it would indicate that the stamping was done with singular letter dies?
Interesting stuff.
