    Default Need Some ID on those...

    I did a few search and I cannot find much or anything about those two. I am adding the Straight Razor Manufacturer information in Wiki and my big master plan for now is to add all my straights in there. I got two of my straights that I absolutely am puzzled by.

    If someone has more information, please post in here.

    The first one is 13/16 - The Celebrated Emperor - Napoleon - Made in Germany.



    The big issue with this German blade is that I don't have the Manufacturer name on it. I did a search with the usual German blade makers and I only found a company in the US that were selling a Straight with "Napoleon" on it (BRESDUCK INC.). I doubt they made that blade as I would have something like made in USA on the other side or at least the maker... Nothing on the other side of the shank.

    The second one is 6/8 - Aurora - Finest Steel - 201

    There's nothing on the other side of the shank. I found an Italian forum that had this one (Aurora) listed as German. However, not so long ago, eBay had 3 Aurora straight and they were stamped 'Made in Tokyo', so I'm a bit confused by this one, German or Japanese. Maybe both...

    Any information appreciated!

    Sorry,...but if you know anything about my Lichtwerks, I'd be interested.
    I tried those two links and nothing. I don't have anything on your razor either, sorry.

    I guess we can agree that the Aurora is made in Tokyo...

    I don't have any information to help you out, but could the made In Tokyo stamp just be worn off of yours? That would be my guess, FWIW.

    I thought the same and had a very close look on the shank, I didn't see anything. I agree with you, one of the 3 pictures as a very worn stamp... I will check again with the microscope tomorrow...
