Bob dropped by today and gave me this straight which he said was his dad's. Bob is in his 90s. So, this is an old 5/8 razor. The tang has the inscription: Erik Anton Berg, Eskilstuna, Sweden, Garanty, and the silhouette of a fish. Mr. Berg started making razors when he was 23. His company eventually manufactured razors, shoemaker's knives, daggers, pliers, chisels and planing steel. Berg died in 1903 at age 47.
