I am thinking that the only explanation, Rez.
Certainly the world wars began their production again? Seems we see 3 or 4 generations of 66 Henckels here?

There is that too Tom. I am willing to bet both of those events were a serious disruption of business and afterwards it was just like starting over.
Found a couple this weekend. C.V. Heljestrand MK No. 24 5/8 and an Oxford Razor Warranted "Germania Cutlery Works". The C.V. Heljestrand is interesting looks like a quarter hollow? My first from this maker actually. Both should be easy clean ups.

Excellent finds. I'm excited to see the Helji with your amazing touch on it when done.

Nice finds.!!
Great condition, too.
Still waiting to find a Heljestrand in the wilds myself.
Thanks! I'm probably not going to do too much to it, just to clean it and a little Mother's I think. I just got it apart and was able to save the collars, the scales are in good shape, the blade just needs a little shine. Only very slight signs of honing on the spine, maybe just honed once.
That's great. It's always exciting catching blades in this kind of condition. Still, excited to see it completed.

Decent weekend at the flea markets last week. Top James johnson silver steel circa 1840. Next Tuckmar, garanti solingen, bottom Joseph rodgers pre-1890, and like new c-mon hone with label and box. Total $35. Middle two need some chips honed out, not sure the tuckmar will make it through but I'll save the really nice scales.Attachment 276520
Fantastic finds! You must have been thrilled to find all that. Some very cool razors there, hope the chips come out of the Tuckmar ok. And what a great score on the C-Mon hone. Sheesh! Like brand new!
