Hello

I've found this in the flea market of my birth place Montpellier, France. The razor is not in good shape (obviously a bunch of rust), but it's the first with this strange design I have seen so far (and I own more than 1000 razors...)

The name stamped on the razor is Spanish "Fransesco", and my feeling is : end of the XVIII century


The box is in accajou maybe from the empire or restauration (1815/1820), it's a luxury box, it don't match with the spanish razor. What I can read : "à l'union des nations" (to the union of the nations) in the cartouche on the side "médaille de bronze obtenue pour ses rasoirs à lames amovibles" (bronze medal for his framebacks razors)"préparation (?) de la fabrique" "à Montpellier et Paris" "Joliret (?)"


the inside is green silk

the name engraved on the scales is french "B*** Alphonse"
