I, another, need a lot of help this time

Well I work in the antiquityes busines and is usefull I must to buy the rest of a old house thinks for a unit price not looking thing for thing, in the lat lote, I found a lot of XVII century things, a old wooden doll *old debutant I think you call them(, many church dresses and another things, into the lote I found a box quite destryed with a similar leather belt, a stone and a blade into a linnen textile that had some initials with rests of the handle, a pece of soap and a very single brush or some similar, the handle or wooden scales are completly unknown but the blade after a electric cleaning are more or less, I'll show you the blade and I'll be so gratedull if you show me any scales mudels I can make for that strage blade, thaks for all and in the next post I'm going to get you anything and no ask for help like ever, very very thanks

I have no idea what type of blade it is Roberto, but later guys will start logging on to the forum & I'm sure there will be someone who will know.

Interesting blade ?

Wath kind of razor you think is it, i never saw it before.....

With that point, protruding out like a dagger/knife, I tend to guess it's not a razor.

Could it be half of some kind of cutter or shears?

it was just i firs saw, a part of an shears, quite old shears by the context, but into it there was rests of a handle, i'm completly confused because a dagger will be dangerous to the user because it fairly habe not union point with the handle, and the primitive of pine wood were like a pocket knife, the letters are GARDEUR i think, thanks

IMHO, from the shape, it appears to be a folding knife blade. The notch above the pivot hole could be the resting location for a lock back mechanism to prevent the blade from closing when in the open position.

Not much kerf on it to be a knife?

the french letters seems to be, i'm used to buy and sell antique navajas, poquet knifes, and it could be a popular one, but in that case the mark usually are a star, two letters os some similar and quite simple but this mark is very strange, and i haven't see a french or spanish navaja with similar blade, is like a tittle arrow head
