Barber's King - Ed. Wuesthof, Solingen
The wife and I went through a few antique stores today and I found a lot of crappy str8s, but also this beauty:
Barber's King
Made by Ed. Wuesthof in Solingen Germany
The box has just a water stain and is in the best condition I have ever seen in an antique store, the included paperwork is in Italian language. It must be pre-WWII, because it is not marked Made in Western (or W.) Germany, and too old to be after the re-unification.
The model # is 220. One side of the blade has the following engraved:
Trident's Warranted Cutlery Solingen
The other side:
Ed Wuesthof Solingen, the Trident trade mark, the #220 and 5/8
On the blade is a Gold marking: Barber's King
The scales look like artificial ivory and also has a print on one side: a crown and Barber's King under it.
It's a three pin razor and in excellent condition.
