Did T R Cadman make a 5/8 wedge

Did T R Cadman ever make a 5/8 wedge does anybody know.
A friend gave me a couple of old straights one of which appears to be a Bengall 5/8 wedge or near wedge unless I’m mistaken

Thanks
 
Yes. The old Bengall Cast Steel razors are near wedges made by the Cadman family. Whether these are technically T R Cadman razors, I am not sure. See the following:



Most of these razors are now about 5/8 wide. My guess is they were originally about 6/8 wide.
 
Sounds like I do have one of the near wedge type ones then. A bit tatty though. Never shaved with a near wedge so will get it cleaned up snd honed and give it d go 🙏

This looks like the one I have with the near wedge although mine appears to be little smaller than a 6/8
