KERN???

I won a razor on line and it is a KERN.
Never heard of a KERN razor before.
But I did hear that KERN made medical equipment such as bone saws and scalpals during the Civil War.
Can't seem to find anything about KERN with google.
So do any of you all know any "who"" what"" where" and "when" about KERN razors?

Goins' says the following:

AUGUST KERN ST. LOUIS MO. g. 1920-1940. "Our Own" is stamped on the front of the tang.

Others may have more information. I do not own any Kern's.

No idea really, but this is what a quick search of the forum turned up:

Hope you can find out more from there.

Thanks for the tips guys.
The razor arrived today .
It's marked ( KERN BARBER SUPPLY Co. St.Louis,MO
MADE IN GERMANY
The other side of the tang is marked ( Paul Jones )

A nice picture would be welcome for KERN curious persons like me?
