    I have one with the same violin, but on the blade, and instead of Ibberson it is marked "W. B. Hilliard & Sons" 7 "Glasgow". No "England", no "Made in". The scales are in ivory. Can it be considered an Ibberson?

    Mauri, some info about W. B. Hilliard & Sons:





    Looking at the violin on your blade, I can only guess that the razor was made by George Ibberson & Co. for or by the order of W. B. Hilliard & Sons.

    As that beautiful Ibberson is marked "Firth Stainless" it has to post date 1913.

    It is a NICE ONE!!!
