    It looks like a microtome to me. Is it ground on both sides or just the side with all but 1 of the pics? I am just curious the pic angle is deceiving me.

    Nice blade! If you get it restored to a mirrir finish you can use it as a shaving mirror! I'd love to shave with that bad boy.

    My Wm Greaves & Sons Sheaf Works Sheffield wedge has the same grinding pattern, like it was done on a snagging wheel.

    I'd say the G B stands for Great Big. Or maybe Glorious Blade.

    I'd love to know if such a blade was made for a specific purpose.

    Bah, i missed this thread..sorry to dig it up.

    Here is the info I hunted up along with some additional conversation regarding this "GB" mark that should be a good read. again, all theory no proof, but, a possibility nonetheless - the GB may stand for George Brittain

    It seems to me I recall the anchor as meaning a city other than Sheffield? Birmingham? Someone knows! Don't TOUCH it! Nice one

    Could be you're thinking of British Hallmarks. Never heard of such a system for razors.
