i really want to know the age for it, i plan to restore it and give it to my dad.
Does is say just Sheffield or does its say Sheffield England ?
just Sheffield
Manufactured by frederick reynold
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.
