Unfortunately i was unable to find direct information on Garvers but more then likely a short lived distributor of razor from others makers. Nevertheless that doesnt mean its a bad razor it really looks like a quality piece to me for sure.
Here the pic of the other Garvers razor.

Going by the shape of the blade, the scales, the covered tang, the tail, it is possible that this razor was made by Robeson thaey were quite famous for their hammered tang razor.
