Barberosa

This is a razor I just made a handle for. The handle is bubinga. The blade still needs a little work. I make my own pins and washers out of brass. It is marked Chas Schaaf 245 Atlantic Ave. Bkly. Made in Germany. On the other side it is marked Barberosa in large letters. I know very little about razors so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mack.

So nobody knows anything about this eh ?

Hmm, is this a razor commemorate 'Operation Barbarossa' (the German invasion of the soviet union in WWII)?

Operation Barbarossa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

there's also : L. Schaaf KG, Solingen, Dorperstrasse 27 in 1939. Open-blade razor maker.
