Straight razor identification help needed

Hello,

I'm new to the forum and posted yesterday in the Shave Clinic and Newbie section. I purchased this straight razor a few days back and have not been able to find out who manufactured it. The markings say Boas or Boad??... see photo. One of the forum members suggested that it may have been made by a German or US manufacturer for a company based in Toledo Ohio, which is an interesting theory. Does anyone have any additional information they could share with me? Are the markings around the "Boas/Boad" indicative of any particular manufacturer? Any suggestions are much appreciated.

I forgot to mention the case says Robeson Cutlery Co Rochester NY, although I can't be sure that the two were originally a set as the seller had a few razors in his possession.
 
It COULD be a Willhelm Boos, a Solingen maker.
Not sure though - prob not a Robeson.


Mixed up boxes are commonplace.
