Thanked: 46Strange razor identifying help????????
I need some help about razor identifying which I find on Croatian auction site. The photo is very bad but seller says that razor have "Rudder" symbol on one side of the tang and some letters like "dumcnzel" where letter "c" is inversely and letter "l" is somewhat strangely.
So, anybody have any idea which razor is about?????

I would request more and better photos. It's always a risk buying something when you can't fully see its condition. There's always the possibility that it's Pakistani, etc. if the seller isn't willing to show good pictures.
