I came across this razor and the wooden box that it came in a few years ago at an estate sale in up state New Jersey. From what I have found out it will date pre 1800s because of the blade edge and shank running in a straight line along with the short tail. I know a little about the cast steel stamping but the question is, what is the crown and letters R. P. representative of.
I am new to the forum and any thoughts or answers would really be appreciated.
