Thread: Need help identifying razor

Hello, Everybody;

I found this little beauty at the flea market a few weeks ago (cost me just €1). It is an old 8/8 blade with a 1/2 hollow grind made of cast steel (crucible steel). The scales have to be replaced, but I polished it up a bit on the buffer, gave it a run across the hones and found that the blade takes a brilliant edge, so much so that I have been using it for shaving even without the scales.

The blade was branded for some retailer in Mons, Belgium, but my question is whether or not anyone can identify that maker's mark on the reverse of the tang (a heart containing three six-point stars).

Any comments appreciated.

you got me on this one.. cool looking blade though

hopefully one of the stamp/marking ninjas will jump in here soon to give you an ID... I don't doubt that someone will know.

Anybody else have an idea ?
