I really like my ERNs and was fortunate to win this lovely Baby. :rock:
She was chipped up but it honed out nicely.
This is going to be a sweet shaver.
I've been unable to locate any info and would appreciate any details that you might have.
Thanks in advance guys.:bow

Mine clearly was the everyman's version now that I see yours :)!!
BTW - this might help.

I would really like to get an aprox date on this razor.
The scales are absolutely not tortoise shell. Bakelite is a better guess, but without handling them, all I can really say is some kind of plastic (that isn't tortoise shell. :) ).
I'd guess later rather than earlier. I associate that style of decoration (gold wash on the blade, scale inlays, high-gloss tang) with 1920's.
That's also kind of a weird looking heel on the razor, that squared-off end. I don't know what to make of it. It's a shape I associate with fake razors, but I don't think that's fake. Let me reiterate: I really don't think that's fake. But it's weird all the same!
Thank you for confirming that for me.Quote:

DID YOU WRITE FAKE?????:cry:
VOIDMONSTER, DO YOU REALLY THINK IT'S FAKE???:shrug:
DAMN,.... MY FIRST FAKE!!!:deal:
I suspect underpants gnomes made it out of Pringles and then painted it silver.
It's a nice ERN. Celluloid, I think. I have seeen several which I deem to be counterfeit Crown and Swords. Seems ok. Hone it up and try it! Store with the blade open. That heel looks pretty sharp! I would round that off!
That's a real beauty regardless! If it hones and shave well nothing else really matters though. That heel is certainly different - I can't tell without using it but it seems it might be easy to hone straight-on without needing any gymnastics on the hone. Good score!
