Seems to be an old manufacturer. If I read the history Neil helpfully provided, could date back to pre 1800??
Awesome.
Thanks for the history, love this forum..
Cheers.

The makers do yes. The razor you posted was made well in to the 1800's at least.

Anything pre 1800 will have either no tail(or stub) with no differentiation between the tang and the blade. It is pretty easy to spot a 1700's blade as they have unique blade profiles. Also scales pre 1800 are almost always straight.
