Hi all! I picked up a gold Merkur Progress from an antique shop, and I was wondering if anyone can help me date it.
Details:
-Gold plating
-Underside of head has "Merkurk Solingen Germany" and the Merkur logo
-Numbers on the adjustable knob are red, divided by lines
-Came in a small leather travel zip case with the only markings being "Merkur Solingen Germany" and again with the logo
I've tried reading up on how to date these types of razors, but to no avail. It could be ten years old for all I know. It looks brand new to be honest. But the case appears much older. Perhaps it's not the original case? Anyway, any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
