I'm guessing the Solingen razor is circa 1930 (ish). Could be earlier. My Grandfather was born in 1891, so he would have been shaving by about 1910. By 1930 he would have probably upgraded to a better razor (I'm guessing). But who knows. It could be his first and only razor. Unfortunately, anyone that would know the answer to this is long gone. But the heirlom remains.
