    Default Can you ID this straight?

    I'm curious what brand this razor is. It only has markings on the one side and it is partially worn off. Certainly someone recognizes it.

    OK, here's a couple better pics. What I see is:

    Top: An acorn top or crown of some sort.
    Middle: An 'S' followed by a heart with possibly a '13' in it. I'm guessing there should be another letter on the other side of the heart.
    Bottom: The letters THI then a partial letter could be B,E,F,P,or R.

    Initially I was thinking THIERS, but now I'm thinking it could have said THIRTEEN, based on the numbers in the heart. But I'm not sure that all those letters would fit.

    Do you see the same thing I am seeing?

    The crown looks like German. But I can't say for sure.
    I couldn't find the similar logo.

    Thiers seems like it would fit. French looking , but I couldn't see a crown and heart in this list of French cutlery marques.

    Sooner or later someone may come along who has the same brand of razor but with a more complete tang stamping. Until then I guess it must remain a mystery.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Definately a french razor, The maker was Marius Solviche, from Thiers, France. The trademark on your razor was registered in 1916, there a no other registration from this maker, that said your razor could very well be quite rare.
