    Default Weck Razor, Military Background?

    For a longer Time i have this nice all metal Weck Razor now and shaved with it yesterday (it was really a pleasure, a very nice shave).
    All the Time i have it i wonder if it has a military Background and what the M.D. U.S.N. on the Scales might mean, does anyone have
    a clue what this stamp stands for?

    M.D USN. Medical Department US Navy.

    At a guess they would have been used to shave patients like Wapiencas did. They were all steel so they could be autoclaved.
