Hi there,

I joined this forum hoping to get some more info re this vintage Thiers Issard & Fils razor (it's not on your database). It has "Qualite Superieur" etched on the blade and on the tang is etched " 69 THIERS ISSARD & FILS A THIERS (FRANCE)". On the spine is a row of flowers with 4 leaves design. I have read TI is one of better known & superb quality European straight razor makers along with Dovo, Boker etc.

Like to know its approximate age, full hollow?, carbon steel?, how does this model stack up to other TIs?, probably needs to be honed to be shave ready? Photos are attached. The seller does not know anything about it and depending on my info gathered, may make an offer or bid on it. It is for a possible gift to my nephew who is using a German straight razor now. Any advice is fully appreciated! Much thanks to all who can share their knowledge of TIs.
