From the day I can picture, it looks like a collaboration between a German firm and an Italian retailer.

I have a Gottlieb Hammesfahr that I found in a local antiques store and it's now one of my favorites. I believe the Pyramide branding means it's a 20th Century blade though pre-1950.

Yes, the pyramid came along later. Gottlieb and Hammesfahr started very early, in the 1700's it seems. Here is an example of their work in the 1800's. Obviously reground back when!

Google translate was interesting, but I get from it that is diamond steel and says something along the lines of "This razor hard and is good for all beards.

-This razor softly shaves every tough and bad beard.
