IF I recall correctly! :D

I remember a story from here where a member absconded with a pile of red-scaled razors left behind in the old Hess warehouse.
He sold them, IIRC. Perhaps this is one of them?

Either way, Hess seems to be quality. Company in the U.S. and blades done in Germany. I have had several Stainless 44's and a 42 wedge.
The OP's is carbon steel. Good razors, Hess!
