This razor is dated approx. 1850 and was owned by the Marquis de Goulaime in the Loire valley in France. The history of these is quite fascinating as to who made them with the belief it was French prisoners held in England.
The family ( the 11th Marquis ) still runs the oldest business in Europe ( 1000 yrs.) living in the Castle ( begun in the year 970)
It's hand painted Whale bone with an etching on one blade reading "Plymouth" and the design on the scales recreated on the other blade of the Anchor and scrolls. The paperwork completes the picture.
