Can you identify this maker's stamp?
Just won this razor at auction and for $10 bucks I wanted to gamble. But I can't find the maker to this mark:

That looks like it'll be quite a project to restore and hone. Best of luck!

yes it was quite ugly. I wanted a pretty trashed razor to restore. A relatively nice one would just be too easy, right? lol. but, from what I could tell,(there were several pics) there were no nicks in the blade. I'm hoping that the tarnish and rust can be removed without taking off too much metal, and it would be a real treat if it doesn't have any pitting. I've never restored a razor before, but I'd like to try my hand at it. I think I can do some really neat things with the scales in wood, because wood is one thing I know. Maybe mail it to a senior moderator for inspection to gain some credibility here
With this project, though, its going to be 99% wiki, 1% forum, because as much as I enjoy just asking questions and interacting with people, I can see that I'm really irritating some, (still unclear why?) and would rather lay low than get banned and lose access to all this valuable information.

The rust in the middle of the blade as shown in picture 8 is what I think will make or break your project. If you can get that cleaned up and a good bevel the rest should clean up nicely.
