I can definitely see it being 'Peerless' too. Maybe it was TILLOTSON & CO? The timeframe seems about right... I've never seen that stamp, but I know there were several Tillotsons working between 1820-1840 (a few merchants as well as the more famous cutler). Also, I'd guess the age is closer to 1840 than 1820. Seems like the changeover to Victoria is about when that style of half-swaged/half-quill spine was popular.
And because I forgot to mention it, wow, that's a lovely razor!-Zak Jarvis. Writer. Artist. Bon vivant.
