Back in the old days there was a period when Sheffield razors ground in Germany was considered to be a plus in marketing. Even in recent years Thiers Issard used to mark their razors as being made of Sheffield Silver steel so the trend continued. The Toronto mark is probably the end seller having his brand on the tang which was also a common practice. That is all I know regarding the topic. More knowledgeable members may be able to help you with info on the maker.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Just like Jimmy said - Sheffield steel, ground in Germany, imported for sale in Toronto.
