Thread: ID help, please.

I found this at the local thrift store last week and told myself if it was there when I checked back in I'd get it. So I went in today and there it was so and had to pick it up.

I've never seen the mark or the manufacturer and a quick perusal of the list in the wiki and a few google searchers and I couldn't find anything either. The pic with the lighter is just for scale. It's a huge full hollow chopper. I was in a hurry and used my cell phone so the photos are kind of junky. It's definitely been rescaled as I have two other razors in the same scales.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I just spent the last 30 minutes researching the 'crowing cock' or 'crowing rooster' mark. No luck my friend.

Gut feeling says we need a latin razor guide to find it in, based on the name. I could not find one tho.. sry mate, I tried.!

Good luck.

Glad I'm not alone.

bharner, I'll try to answer on your PM here.

Thanks, Manah! Sometimes I really do think that you live at 221B...
