    Default Help with Russian translation, please

    I recently purchased this razor which I believe was made in Russia. I am hoping someone can translate the writing on the coffin and on the tang. Any help will be appreciated.

    Regards - Walt

    The box and the razor are from different Russian manufacturers.
    The box: Завод Труд - Trud(Work) factory.
    The blade: Экстра - trademark Extra.
    з-д СТИЗ - STIZ factory (Factory of Steel Products).
    51 г. - 1951.

    Hey Walt,

    I work with a gal that's Russian, I've copied your pictures and printed them out. I'll swing by work and see if she's there. If she can't translate it, maybe between here and her parents it can be done. I'll get back to you later today.

    Thanks Manah. I guess having a mismatched box and razor must be a universal problem.
