Hi all. I’m new to razors so this may be obvious but, I was lucky enough to come across a bunch of old straight razors. most I’ve been able to identify but this one is a mystery to me. The only markings are made in Germany and a crest with J.E RELIANCE. I’m in New Zealand and cant find any info online. Anyone have an idea what it is? Any help would be much appreciated.
Razor I.D???

It's not a well known brand, but that is not unusual for blades from that period, especially German ones. The same blade blanks could be used and stamped with a number of different brands, store names, and so on.
Id say it is 1920's. You sometimes see very similar blades with The Hamberg Ring stamp. It will be a good shaver, and wont need much work to clean up.
