Thread: Help in Identifying a Razor if you please.

So I was out with a friend, and we stopped by a flea market in town. Wouldn't you know it, I found a straight razor. Problem is, I have no idea what this is. Now, it was only 15 dollars, so no harm, no foul on the price.

The blade is 7/8 width, half hollow ground. It also has a slight smile. Defiantly has some wear on the blade. One one side it says Duncan Bro. Wilmington. The other is a bear with a staff. The bottom of the blade handle has 'Made in Germany' on it.

Now I've done some research, and the bear with the staff resulted in Hessenbruch Co.

The Duncan Bro. Wilmington resulted in no information found.

What I need to know if its a real deal Hessenbruch, or if it has been re-branded. It seems to have an edge still, though it needs honing. If its worth keeping/using I'd like to know.

Thanks to all who may help.
