Help with information on a razor!
A year or two ago I received a straight razor as a gift, but have no idea anything about it! I have tried using google to find more information but I am hopeless as I know nothing about straight razors! Someone please help me with information about the history of this razor and maybe even an guess at the value! Thanks!
the blade's front reads:
Gebr Lang
Goldene Medaillen
Solingen
on the back it reads:
51, 4/8 WIENER-SCHABERL
it has what seems to be a bone handle with a scrimshaw art design
The box does not seem to match the razor, at least from my inital research. It was given to me with a worn out Koller & Schmitz Cutlery Co. FOX razor box.
I know that This company existed from the late 1800s til about 1916, but the German blade doesnt match the box so i have no clue what I have!
Any help or any information at all would be great! Thanks!
