Thread: Bleckmann razor? the bushman etched on the blade and "e pluribus unum"

Hi guys, Just picked up a razor in a vintage store,
its a bleckmann made in solingen stamed on the tang with a B M logo
blade is 7/8 inch wide
and has an eagle etched on it with e pluribus unum which is latin "Out of many, one" and was the motto of the united states
until 1956 when it was changed to "in god we trust"
under this is says "The Bushman" made in germany.
will post a pic when I have better camera I posted some pics in the workshop section before i started polishing but they weren't very good quality. will use the Nikkon camera to take better pics when i have time.

Just hoping someone can tell me a bit about the manufacturer maybe or any history about these particular razors?

The actual letters on the tang are rubbed off I'm only guessing it's a bleckmann but it looks like B I L C KMANN but the only manufacturer I could make from that was Bleckmann.

Hope someone can tell me a bit more.
