I am in the process of restoring a razor for a friend. The restoration is now complete and I just have to hone it up for him.
It is a fairly standard 5/8" square point with black scales and a slight smile. I think it has been rescaled in the past as the fixed end has copper rivets with large flat heads and the wedge is also made of copper. Whoever did it did a superb job.
The tang is marked "C.G.A.Hammarberg & Co. Worcester. Mass. Hand Forged"
It seems be a good quality razor and was probably imported from Germany in the 40's. If anyone has any information on the supplier I would love to pass it along to the new owner.
