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'm guessing the "rudder" symbol might be the Wostenholm "pipe", since it was usually (always?) printed upside down. See if he can get you closeups of the tang on both sides. See if it looks like this:

When I said "rudder" (do not have better translation) I think of "rudder" like on down photo:

So, better translation is "ship wheel" :-) not rudder
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.
The better photos of the tang would help.
Because a lot of Solingen blades have such "rudder" stamp.
It cuold possibly be Polish, as Polish uses an l with a diacritic, a diagonal line. Like this: ł
But the inverse C is odd... I'm not familiar with any written language that uses an inverse C.
I recived the razor. The tang photo is down. In my oppinion these are cirylic letters (as I know little bit of cirylic it says: "Blaujed Dumnsitel", not 100% sure, maybe that's some russina straight razor producer)????????

I believe THIS is what you have.
It could be but on my razor definitely not written Beaujeu Dumontel (trademark is the same but letters not)??? Also, I can not find any on e-bay.....anybody know how much this one is worth when it's in excellent condition.
If that is your razor in the pics, it sure looks like those letters to my eye.
it is worth somewhere between $0.99 - $5000 in excellent condition. It just depends on what the ebayers are willing to pay that day
Maybe I did some confusion with e-bay. I know that e-bay is not the best place to look for razor prices. As I really do not know anything about this producer I do not know the real price of this razor (I bought it in Croatia from guy who do not know anything about straight razors for 18 USD, but I belive that razor is worth more than 18 USD).Quote:

It seem to be half hollow or am I maybe wrong?
