Thread: Help please Hamburg Ring.

Please can you help me? I am trying to find and put together any available information about Hamburg Ring. It looks like they were made in few locations around the Europe. Why they were called Hamburg Ring? Were there only specific locations like Solingen, Hamburg ... where they were made? By who or which companies? And so on. All help especialy refferenced is appreciated. Thank you.

I hope, this link would be helpful.
Hamburg Ring.

Thank you. I have searched through SRP already and I have seen the link before I have posted mine. However there is not much reliable information apart from good pictures of razors which were stamped with makers stamps Sheffield, Valencia, Solingen. But it could be me not noticing the information given. Common guys dont be scared to share your info.

From that thread:

Therefore many razors is etched "Hamburg Ground" and "Hamburg Ring".

About "Hamburg Ring", I have understood this ring round Hamburg where there were companies.

And that is what does not make sense to me. If there are blades visibly stamped ground in Solingen, Sheffield or Valencia. This controversy sparked my interest in it.

I've never seen another "ring". Only "Hamburg Ring".
