Thread: Does anyone know who made this?

Another recent addition, I am fairly sure the scales do not belong to this blade, there is evidence of a re-pinning job on the tang pin which can't be seen in this photo, there are no makers stamps, or marks anywhere on the tang front or back, I have seen this etch design somewhere before with a reference to the Thistle Cutlery Co, the steel is good quality, and I think the blade will clean up quite well, there are a couple of tiny chips to the edge which should hone out OK


Any info would be appreciated

How about a close up of the tang stamp? The scales are Crown and Sword, to be certain!

Yes. The razor was re-scaled. Scales are from ERN razor.
There were several "Thistle Cutlery Co." marks. To identify the blade, need to see the tang/mark picture. I hope, it will be helpful.

Hey, Manah! I have you here! What about Crown and Sword Cutlery? WAS that Ern, or before?
I have Crown and Sword Cutlery and Ern Crown and Sword. Thanks, Tom

Can I see "Crown and Sword Cutlery" razor?
I've seen:
Crown and Sword,
Crown and Sword Razor Works,
Crown Cutlery Co.,
Crown Razor Co.

Yes, You are correct. This one simply says Crown and Sword 1720 and Made in Germany on the back tang. I believe I gathered "Cutlery" from a razor guide! Thanks

Tom, you have good Carl Friedrich ERN razor.

Thank you. I suppose Ern was a prolific family name. I wonder who he was in relation to the eventual Ern trademark? Also, is this before or after the Ern stamp? I suppose we have hijacked this thread! (I always wanted to use that smiley!)...get it on.. Tom
