So last week I won this on eBay and kind of regretted the purchase. I kept it within my eBay limit bit the blade looked... not great. Then there is the lack of info on this razor which is made in Italy? The scales seem to be made out of bone, the brand is Cogliato & Fassio Asti. On the other side of the tang there are two men that appear to be sawing a tree.
What wonders a little elbow grease (and other tools/materials) can do on what looked like an ugly duckling and turned out to be a magnificent swan. Good work!
I got lucky that is for sure. Does anybody know anything about the brand?
All I can saw is it's a nice looking razor, great scales.
I never saw a tang stamp, rocarule. Get us a picture of that! I am sure someone will know about them. Nice work! :D
Here you go
Nice Bone scales,is there an anvil between the two figures?
Nah, it actually looks like two fellas cutting a tree with a two man saw.
I thank you for the pics. I honestly feel someone will solve this. The adverse tang stamp is the clue as to the maker, I feel German. I think this was made for an Italian dealer.
I have seen this stamp before.......
This is a beautiful blade
Looks like this is the same logo. Attachment 150523Attachment 150524
And THERE You have it, Folks!!
I sent you the listing for this green Gumeso sharptonn, remember where you've seen this stamp now?
Nice I kind of knew it was German made as it look and felt similar to this other blade that is 15/16
YES! HA! That's why I have young friends...to remember things! poor thing was cell-rot city. Sad!Quote:

I saw this logo again on an eBay auction. Check it out. Did C.Friedr Kratz have anything to do with Gumeso for Gustav Melcher?
