Great find, congrats. It does the heart good when a razor gets saved from the junk heap.

Great find, congrats. It does the heart good when a razor gets saved from the junk heap.
I found this! "Gustav Iserloh, Solingen in 1922 and 1925. Brand names: '5 Jahre Garantie', 'Hÿane', 'Kronprinz', 'Scorpion', 'Wildschwein'. Open-blade razor maker."
Hope it helps.

Model # perhaps? Mine says, "#12 6/8" obviously the width but maybe that's the model for yours? Who knows?
I am really diggin this razor! Great find. Sooner or later I am going to come across a fancy spine like that.
That is a pretty spine. Mine's plain but it is a great shaver now that it's been "hammered" i.e. honed by MJHammer. Wow! What a great shaver!

The spine is nice, as you say. One more interesting thing about this razor is that the angle of the edge seems bigger than the one on my Dovo BQ (the spine is noticeably thicker) (I hope i can make myself understood ). It shaves a little bit different than my Dovo, not better or worse, just different.
