DAMASCUS - GERMANY - 9/16 - 1/2 HOLLOW
This is a stylish looking vintage straight razor in extremely good condition.
The custom made scales are made of black paper Micarta and dark transparent acrylic tapered wedge.
The blade is extremely shiny, clean with no rust, cracks, chips, stains or disturbing stains.
Blade has no real hone wear to speak off.
Blade has been cleaned and polished.
Blade measures 9/16 - muted spike point
Blade's cutting edge: 2.65 inches
Total weight: 1.4oz
Hardware: Brass and Silver nickel pins and washers
Third pin
On the front shank it says: Made in Germany with a Dagger
On the back it says: Damascus
The bottom and upper part of the shank has ribbed jimps.
Extremely nice condition and example of a Damascus
I believe this to be a Wester Bros. Solingen, Germany. I have several razors from Wester Bros and they have the exact same DAMASCUS lettering on the back side of the tang.
I estimate this razor from somewhere between 1920 - 1930.
