Hi!
I've had the good fortune to come across a real Challenge Razor Works razor as well. Mine is an original 'Challenge' acid etched with MOP monkey tail covers and bone scales.
Here is a link for all the info on manufacturers and brand names I could find. This is a good link for guys who want to know what years a brand was in manufacture and where. Mine is a Sheffield blade imported by Challenge. Yours probably is as well.
Straight Razor Manufacturers and Dates of Operation will help identify razor years by the manufacturer brand. Mine is 1891-1898. I cannot believe how nice your and my razors are for their age. Amazing.
Good luck on the restore.!!!

It is always nice to have family razors! Yours are top quality razors. I shave with both Robeson and Genco blades. They are excellent blades and great shavers, and are difinitely worth bringing back to life! Good luck with them, and happy shaving, wildhog
