Thread: Is this a razor made from a file?

You can get burned sometimes by reading the tang stamps that have no country on them. A lot of times stuff was not made for export and thus wasn't marked accordingly. Never made sense to me to have two different sets of stamps but I have seen German pocketknives that are known to be 1920's that did not have Germany on the tangs.

Your thinking on the date is probably right on.

I used to make quill pens just for fun.
Now I've got cats and they don't mix well.
