Imperial blades (WWII?)

[Baritone]

Hello all

Looking for some information on these blades! I acquired them in Germany about 15 years ago from a friend of mine. He was under the impression that these were early 1940s, WWII-era blades. The boxes (of 10 blades ea.) say "made in Germany" in a small font.

There's also a wrapper that says "Bitte beachten! Dieser Karton enthält 200 St. Rasierklingen. Jede Packung 20 Stück." This explains that each box contains 200 blades, 20 each package. Really, there are 10 blades per package (2 edges per blade makes for fun math).

Each blade is in wax-paper wrapper. I've not tried shaving with one yet - it's hard to break up a 200-blade set!

Do any of you know when these were made? Are there any re-enactors out there that need DE blades?

Best
