Thread: The Army Razor

Hi people, im trying to find out something about this razor, it is almost wedge, with probably horn scales, not difficult to hone, i will try how it shaves, but i wonder which army used this (English?)
And year in which it could be made.
It is S.Pearson& co.
It is about 16 milimetres wide.

Any army could use the Samuel Pearson razors.
On the first place is the British army.
In the second half of 19th century, S.Pearson had an agent in Hamburg. So, possibly, the German army.
It's very difficult to find true information about army contracts.

Thanks, and don´t you have any info please about its age? when they were made?
And it is not from Ebay, i bought here in Slovakia, don´t know how it got here

First time, Samuel Pearson was listed in 1837, as razor manufacturer, located in Eldon Street.
In 1851 Pearson filed for bankruptcy.
But in 1856, S.Pearson & Co. was listed in directories. Among their products, there were "celebrated razors".
So. Based on the razor stamp and company history. I think, the razor was made ca 1856-1891.

Thanks very much.
