Thread: identyfication needed

Is that massive hone wear on the spine on the fancy side, accompanied by a wide bevel? The spine almost looks ground off right? I am not picking on the razor I am just trying to understand and visualize common terms used here. I like the razors shape and the scales are nice.

I know I've seen those makers marks before, but like syslight I can't find where. I do think there could be a Polish connection. That just seems right. But I could be wrong.

The scales are beautiful, but definitely plastic. The blade has a lot of hone wear on it, but that doesn't mean it can't be a good shaver for you. What are your plans?

Peace,
Jim

Some more info and possibillities - Grandpa, was a forced worked in Reich during WWII - it's possible, that he brought the razor with him, when he returned, so it could be a german manufacturer.

I'm seriously thinking, of renovating the blade, and making it usefull once again (the scales require some renewing also, but I would like to keep them original) - who knows maybe i'll switch the traditionall gillete product, into classic, and more distinguished shaving with a blade? Time will tell - surerly it's a family history, so it stays in my hands.

I've made a second closer, and more detailed photo of a punc symbol. The scales probabily were switched, thus, they're a bit loose, and the fitting looks not original.

You know what, when first I saw the stamp, it looked kind of soviet to me...then you talk about Polish.... so it could very well come from a eastern Europe country/russia in my opinion.
