Hey everyone. I've been using a straight for some time now, but since this is my first thread I suppose I am still a noob. Anyway, when I was back home over the holidays my father handed me a SR that he said was my great grandfather's. Considering what its been through over the years, its in decent shape (some surface rust, slight taper to the toe, cracked scales).

After sanding off some rust to see how it would take to a basic hone, I consulted Google to try and find more information about this razor, but to no avail. I'll try to throw some pictures up here tomorrow, but on the tang it says:

10 Columbia Razor Co.
Germany

The only result I found was from an older post by gentleman on here named Leighton, but I was unsuccessful at sending him a PM. If any of you guys (or girls) can provide me with any information about this straight, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
