Friends are enabling my habit

One of my friends gave this to me. It was in a wh morley & Sons box with a price of 3.50 printed on the box. He told me his brother picked it up in virginia somewhere for 28.00 dollars and it had two razors in it. After cleaning it up near the scales a bit I discovered it is a wade and butcher sheffield england razor. Under the text is a symbol in a circle I can't identify followed by an arrow pointing to a maltese cross. Any ideas or comments about this blade? It is not straight at the edge for sure but the spine wear looks fairly even and minimal. A few passes on the strop even with the curvy edge brought it to arm shave status. I will attempt a minor clean up/restore before trying my hand at honeing it.
