Thread: A new razor

I have sawn before R. Hibberd, but what about the crown with the maltesse cross and a Y under?, what do you now about it?, many many thanks, I´m learnig a lot I never thougth learn before, ad sorry if in certain moments I seem that I know more than really know, but is only hungry to knowdlege.

I'm thinking it might be a "V" rather than a Y. Along with the "R" (Regent) the V being for Queen Victoria. Might be wrong though.

At the first I thougt like you, but I found the mark Maktesse crass, crown, Y in lelation with another mark, http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...-question.html, in our place, and I found too the mark R.Hibberd without crown and the rest, Im confused, an thanks

Im sorry, I must read my posts before posting them, sure you can undertand I writed before, but I´m following at the same tame the little ware We are haveing near the congress hall, millions of persons in the street, police, militars. Today a little part of my country dicided separate, is a madness and, sure I´m nervous, sorry again

The mark is just Hibberd's Corporate Mark as registered with the cutlers guild. The initial may - or may not - mean something, most likely not. Where it does, as in some of the examples below from a 1787 Sheffield Directory, they are usually the makers initials. Also, the crown is not the same crown used for sovereigns marks.

Many many thanks, I think I understand all, you say that the mark is a Hibberd´s mark; and the name below is provably the maker into the enterprise or the place were it was made isn´t it? I realised that the crown is diferent that the others I saw in GR VR WR but I did´n know that the mark of the old makers could be used after the others appears. Well thank for all and I spect you like the photos
