Help with maker identification
I've got this old stub-tailed razor that I couldn't find any info on it...Does anyone identify the stamp on the tang? Date? I will greatly appreciate it if you could spell some light on it. the back side is blank.
Thank you.

Very interesting. It looks French from the stamping, but the pronounced tail is not typical from a lot of French razors from that period. I thought I saw a razor like this somewhere recently - I'll have to look for it. My off-hand guess would be late 1700s, but I'll wait for someone more knowledgeable to chime in.

I doubt it is a late 1700 since it have jimps below the tang, and as far as I know there were no jimps on razor until 1820-30, but you are most welcome to correct me if i'm wrong

You should ask manah. In most cases he can help to identify razors!
You should do a trip to the Golan Heights and meet him.
