new old military straight?

[sam o'reilly]

Just wondered if you guys could date this for me. It has what I believe is a German military cross on the blade and a star. Made by J. Rodgers. No other marks. Thanks in advance for any info.

The star and cross is the trademark of Joseph Rodgers and Sons. They are well respected English razor company.

So it isn't a Wehrmacht razor and Joseph Rodger and his family weren't collaborators. Well there goes another mystery.

This is not a military product. Straight Razors are usually stamped 'Made for the Army' or something similar when it's military.

Ah, that explains it. Thanks.
