    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.

    thank you very much for the information ! If the razor is made between 1922 and 1925 then I wander what does the number 1997 (on the tang) means ???

    Model # perhaps? Mine says, "#12 6/8" obviously the width but maybe that's the model for yours? Who knows?

    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.
