    Johnson didn't acquire the pipe and dart until 1842 I believe (yes it was granted in 1698, but not to him.) This looks earlier than that to me
    Find me on SRP's official chat in ##srp on Freenode. Link is at top of SRP's homepage

    "Seven stars" were granted in 1835.
    I have the same razor. And it looks like 1835-1840. IMO.

    I found one today at an antique shop for 17 bucks. Looks like mine has 4 stars stamped on the handle. Any info on this? It looks identical to the one the OP posted.

    Thanks for the info. The blade on mine seems to be in good shape except the top of the blade seems to have some wear on it. The scales are broken though. Pretty cool find I think for the price I paid. Not as cool as finding one of my grandfathers though. Thats an amazing story.
