A worn razor with inscriptions Luna 42 and the luna logo.Luna is A. Feist & Co I found out.
The moon logo resembles the logo below: http://straightrazorpalace.com/attac...erk_logo_1.jpg

after some quick polishing.
What is 42? 1942?
The box is Tückmar Silber-Stahl Solingen (Beste Qualität) but I guess is not original combination with the Luna razor. Both german and Solingen based but that's it.

Can't read the tang. Needs more polishing. Edit: with my watchmakers loup I read: MadeInGermany...

Wondering what material the scales are made of. Some wood with some finishing which is falling apart.

Both the case and the finish are also coming off because the noobs of the store put heavily adhesive price tags on it... omg

hollow, no clue about width. Point can be called round i guess.Any clues about details, age, etc? And what is the 42 on the shank?
Btw, my first straight. Don't know if i dare to use it after restoration. Don't have a strop or other tools either.
