This one is one of a myriad of names found on razors made in Germany for export to the US. This one is likely early 1900s, could be pre-WW1 or later. The scales here are "composition", perhaps celluloid or another man made material.

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. :roll:

Still around, doing well. Haven't acquired anything new and exciting in a while. Been busy with the new place and trying to get situated as a gentleman farmer in the Ozarks. :lol:
Hope all is well in your world. :)
