Very nice Bob. Any idea on age?

Thank you. No idea really but a wild guess at 1950s/60s production possibly.

Is the tang blackened or does it just look that way because of lighting. Either way, it looks like a nice acquisition.

Thank you. The tang and the top of the spine are completely blued like a rifle barrel.

Nice looking razor. I've never tried a Heartring before, but I've heard they are top shavers. Congrats.

Thank you. They were made by H.Eicker & Sohne and if this one is a typical example they do shave very well.

Very nice, Bob. It must have been properly stored. Examples with the scales deteriorating have come through my hands.
Beautiful and super thin blade. You will enjoy it, I feel.
It has found a good home!
Congrats!

Thank you. Yes it has a great super thin bellied hollow blade. It reminds me of the Blue Wonder by Ewald Plumacher that I have. Both also have the blued tang and spine. I'll take any more of these blades in similar condition if I can find them. For me just a great blade to shave with.

Congrats Bob,

As long as it shaves good, the rest becomes icing on the cake.
