Info on a Silco King

I've bought a decent looking razor called a "Silco King". It says it's made in Germany, but on the back it's stamped with "Regina Sask. Distributing".

Does anyone have anymore information about this company? I've googled the name and came up with nil. It looks to be about a 5/8 spike.

thanks, Sam

Got any pictures you could post? Sounds like German steel distributed by a Canadian company and it should be a good shaver as long as it's in good condition.

There were lots of old razors forged in Germany and then redistributed by smaller hardware stores. Finding one from Canada is pretty cool because the majority that I've seen were sold by U.S. companies.

Hey commiecat,

I'll get some photo's up as quick as I can. Thank you for the info!

Okay, so here are some photos of the razor. Hope you find it interesting!
