    Default 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.

    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.

    bharner, I'll try to answer on your PM here.
    Sommer, Herrmann y Cia (Sommer, Herrmann & Co.) Veracruz is a Mexican hardware company with German roots.
    At the end of 19th century, it was Leffmann & Gutheil, Veracruz, Mexico.
    As I've understood, Sommer, Herrmann & Co. is still in business.
