Here are the best pictures I could get from my phone's camera
In a closer exam through the magnifying glass it looks like the first letter is a "T" and the last one is "Y", yet a little hard to confirm the T in the pictures but the Y is pretty obvious isn't it?Last edited by OrSh; 05-22-2013 at 09:51 PM.

NOW I am seeing an "H" first letter and a "Y" last one! "Refined" or "peerless" ??? Some way to bring it out like they do filed-off serial numbers? That blade is making me itch! As I go home, I shall check my oldies display.

Thanked: 3164OK, time for a curved ball. Supposing the name on the tang is not the makers, but the vendors? If it is a T, a la Toms first idea, maybe Tiffany & Co? Granted, in 1837 they were called Tiffany & Young, but the name changed to Tiffany & Co in the 1850s. A bit late for our timeframe, perhaps, but an interesting possibility.
Thanks for the extra pics by the way, Orsh, but they have only confused me further.
I would have liked the maker to have been Pickslay, but I would also have liked the weisser bier not to have run out in the hotel I stayed at in Austria - but then you cant have everything, can you?
Regards,
Neil

Indeed, Neil, most of us have found that bit out!
The bier did not run out, Mate! They were just witholding from you! You were probably going on like Old King George and the Austrians were concerned!
All I see now is Tiffany and Co. !
Ahhhh, the power of Neil's suggestions!Last edited by sharptonn; 05-23-2013 at 12:08 AM.

I can get on board with 'Tiffany & Co', but I don't feel confident about it (and so much for my previous confidence in Tillotson's -- it's DEFINITELY not that).
The more I look at the second line, the more I think it says 'REFINED SILVER STEEL'.
Or maybe 'PILFERED'...-Zak Jarvis. Writer. Artist. Bon vivant.

Thanked: 4249Ever since this thread was posted i been trying! Honestly, im thinking the name on the razor _ _ _ _ _ y & co is a company of luxurious item and the razor was part of it.
And yes i really think the name is 6 letters then & co, wifey saw me with a ruller on the screen, and she just gave me that look! Priceless!
Orsh you found a really great looking gem. Anything else on the other side a number ?
Perhaps finding a similar razor with the same worked spine?

I think that is the key. Someone somewhere has the complete tang stamp to lay this one over!
Oh Well! Always looking!"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."

Counting spaces, It cannot be Tiffany! At least to my worn-out eyes!
