Does anyone have experience with this brand of razor?
I was given this razor for free and just honed it up, but haven't shaved with it yet. I have never heard of this brand before, and google doesn't give me much info either. So I was wondering what experiences any of you may have had with this brand.

any indication on the reverse of country of origin? If it's german, american, british or french, it's more than likely good quality

It looks like a Solingen/German Razor from the 1920th.
Only the stamp makes me wonder. Ammbos + Hammar obviously means anvil + hammer.
It sounds german but it is not. In german it would be Amboß + Hammer.
I could not find any other language that would know the words Ammbos and Hammar spelled like this.
Maybee it was produced in america and the maker wanted it to look "german" sice the german razors were known for quality. But that is just a guess.
