I got this straight razor:
A 6/8” Army Straight Razor by J. Heiffor. _*_
Manufacturers Info.
John Heiffor
Army razor, &c. manufacturer,
3 Paradise sq Sheffield; house: 11 Belfield street
Saturday’s razor from a 7 day set.
Likely to be for an Officer. Name scratched on
Appears to be Dr Thompson
This cut throat razor has a 6/8” lightly Hollow ground blade.
It has dark horn scales with a lead spacer.
Engraved on the tang are the words
“*J.H.* John Heiffor 3 paradise square Sheffield”
On the reverse is “Made for the Army”
On the spine is "Saturday"
I cannot find any information in the SRP’s good razor list, neither in the bad list.
Does anybody know anything about the quality of this razor?
Is it a good one? Does anybody know approximately the year of manufacture?
Thank you very much in advance gentlemen.
