Wade & Butcher Stampings

serious question.......

I spend a lot of time looking at W&B razors (and a lot of others.....won't go into that)

my question is......for such a good and coveted razor, why are their stamps on the tangs all over the place when you look at different ones?

-some missing parts of what would have been lettering.
-some high or low
-some left or right

the only reason I can think of would be missing the mark when possible heat/forge stamping?

any knowledge about these anomalies would be appreciated.

I know nothing but my guess is:

I don't think such razors were particularly coveted when they were made. Straight razors were mass produced but by humans.
 
I only have one reference unfortunately, looks OK. W&B Special - Hollow Grind
