I dunno, but I thought I may see some 9/8 razors here!
Before the anchor GB?

Fascinating Martin, thank-you, so this razor most likely is an 18th century razor? Just under the wire at 1797?

So can the anchor be attributed to George alone? Way I understood it?

Thanked: 4249Personally I think this razor is early 1800's.
Don't think the Anchor had anything to do with George since he died in 1812, you notice an evolution with their razors, from the ones marked "France" then the ones like Phrank, and later the big choppers. George sons took over his part of the business by 1815, Verdon and Bernard.

Thanks again Martin, either way, 200 years old, I'm going to tell myself 1797.... :-)
Now to read up on how to fill that gap in the scales, and clean this up without changing anything at all, leaving it as original as it is...no unpinning I guess, gentle hand sanding and some WD-40 possibly to get at the gunk in the pivot pin area...this one stays as original as I can leave it.
