Well, Steve got back in very good time indeed - great customer service and I can only recommend him and his company for seeing to this so fast - bravo!

Hi...

I am also stating that the AMA brand is not exclusive to G E Bettertons.

I think it has always belonged (with regard to certain straight razors, anyway) to Dovo. That includes AMA and AMA 100.

Many thanks, Martin.

Regards,
Neil

This is the mark on the AMA 100 french paddle I mentioned earlier:

130524

It is not my pic - it is someone else's paddle, but the few I have owned have been marked in exactly the same way.
...

Thanks for that, Alan, but I can't really help on this occasion!

I have tried to track AMA down before without any success - not in the cutlers marks books, the old Solingen Makers Archives, or...
