    It looks suspiciously like a rasor of mine, a Wada & Butler.
    Scales and rosette washers seem similar. I love mine.

    You have a very nice , very old razor . It most likely dates to the latter part of the 1700's . The crown , along with the letters GR , means the razor was made during the reign of King George , of England . You're very lucky to have such a razor , please don't mess it up .

    If its really that old you may not want to do anything with it. Nice piece of history.

    I was mistaken , your razor is not as old as I thought . Now that I see the blade , I'm thinking 1820- 1850 . It's still a very nice razor , just not quite as old as I thought .
