PIK razor? #14 ERN? Makers mark.

[hig789]

I got this razor today that I bought off eBay. It is marked PIK Garantirt on the front with a 14 and has the eagle and snake logo seen on ERNs on the back. Am I correct to say this razor is made by ERN? I looked up the vintage Solingen makers marks and found ERN to be the only one to use the eagle and the snake mark. If so this is the first #14 ERN I have ever seen.

Nobody???

I'd say it was ERN. I've seen a few straights using that mark but not stamped as ERN.

I am calling it a rebranded ERN, that's the only company that used that makers mark so it's good enough for me.

Cool, not the typical 14 is it?

 

[hig789]

My herder 14 is the same shoulderless design with a thumb notch but a heavier grind. But no it is not very typical for a 14 to have this shape I don't think which is why I jumped all over it. It cleaned up very nice too with just some maas.

Nice looking razor.

Congrats!!!

Very nice, I'd be inclined to agree about it being made by ERN with that logo. Nice score.

Almost looks like the pelikan 14.

Is it 8/8 or close?

 

[hig789]

It's 13/16.

Yes, it's an Ern. PIK is an Ern brand. I've seen a full hollow one with the Crown and Sword logo on the reverse side of the tang. I've not seen one like yours before. Nice razor.
