Cool stamp on the tang, I can't tell you much. The lack of the word England places it pre-1895. There looks to be an etch on the blade, what does it say?
Also, is there a stamp on the back of the tang?

Since it doesn't have a name, I suppose that means you can use the word "rare" when you list it.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

It looks a bit like a J Beardshaw & Son Conqueror brand to me:
They were founded in 1819, had the Baltic Steel Works in Sheffield and carried on in business to at least the 1960s and in other guises into the 1970s.
The first John Beardshaw goes back to 1916 and Hollis Croft and as well as having the freedom of the cutlers company he was a licensed victualler, running "The ****" inn. Jonathan Beardshaw (b1780) had no less than 29 children! Throughout its history the company made tools, edged implements, etc, but as they were steel convertors perhaps their steel was used by razor makers in the area. A family relation made knife handles, so there is a cutlery link.
I might be wrong, but I do have the same razor somewhere. I kept thinking of H G Long & Co at first, but their mark is crossed daggers.
Regards,
Neil

Most likely, the razor was made by Joseph Allen & Sons, "Original Dagger Razor".

Welcome to SRP. If you would like to learn to shave with your razor check out the beginner's guide in the SRP Wiki here. You can find someone to hone it in the member services section of the SRP Classifieds.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Is it me or the pictures on the original post are of two different razors?
The one is clean with a smooth blade with silver pins and the other is showing wear and dirt in the sword stamp, has an etching on the blade and has brass pins.Last edited by Snake; 02-11-2011 at 02:39 AM. Reason: Forgot the pins.
