Can't find anything on this blade. Any help?
Merry to all. I hope you guys have had fun packing away the food and cleaning up the wrapping paper shrapnel. After all was said and done I ended up today with a shiny new blade from the girlfriend. I tried looking up some info on the name stamped on the blade but I couldn't find anything.
It reads. "George Johan" next line "Sheffield". That's it. No other marks or stamps. I have pictures. I did google searches but I kept getting results for someone with the reverse name "John George" from Sheffield, England. I looked up Straight Razor Manufacturers and Dates of Operation But returned nothing. The blade is pretty nicely made with some ornaments, it's mostly clean and should sharpen right up. The scales are tight but not overly tight. Anyone have any info on this maker? Please, any info would be appreciated!

This was the seller the girlfriend got it from on Etsy. Seems the posting is still up.

Let me know if they take it down or you can't see it.
