Whats the ag of this razor
I just got this sheffield, spanish point. and i want to determine the age. I am taking a wild guess and say 1880s-1900s. Please look at the pics and tell me what you think.

Iam not sure but i think the razor companies had to put ENGLAND on the razors after 1890. Maybe somebody will chime in. But it looks like a full blade with motled horn scales,nice!

Made prior to 1891 due to no "England" stamp on tang, per Madrid Treaty. Further info discussed here - http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...ny-idea-2.html
When restoring, use care with the molted horn scales. The black staining will diminish with aggressive rubbing/polishing.
