All I know is that RAN-TAN-KA-RUS was a trademark used by Smith & Hemenway from 1898-1917. There should also be "Made in Germany" stamped on the tang. The other thing I know is that they are "Devilishly" difficult to hone evenly, due to the swayback, at least for me!

Yha, looks like a difficult one to hone, flat stones with a rounded blade. Such a sweet smile though.
This one says Made in Sweden

Actually, I just looked at mine and it is stamped made in Sweden too. Goins' didn't mention the Sweden stamp. Great shaver BTW!
