Se tu riuscissi a postare le diciture e punzonature, anche solo descrivendole, potrei fare una ricerca.
Mi piace indagare su queste cose. :)

inserisco due esemplari d'epoca con custodia doppia. foto fatta un pò di tempo fa, non ricordo se e che marchi hanno.
19072010043.jpg
quindi inserisco disegno del punzone a forma di ipotetica scure
punzone 001.jpg
infine, ti do un altro marchio da ricercare, che non ho ancora fotografato: "skidmore", con punzone di corona. bell'esemplare, stilisticamente simile ai nostri GB (quindi primi '800), con finitura originariamente a specchio, lama intonsa da un pollice, ovviamente coi segni del tempo

Non vorrei sbagliarmi ma l'ipotetica scure
dovrebbe schematizzare un "crogiolo" e/o affini come garanzia di alta qualità.

@Andreat63:Grazie per le foto,ora e' tutto piu' chiaro.

Andiamo con ordine:

1.Per quanto concerne "Skidmore" so che il termine indica un tipo di milizia del 1872-75, in linguaggio colloquiale che pero' deriva dall'americano,non dall'inglese.
Ho associato il significato al termine perche' mi hai detto che vi e' anche il simbolo di una corona, quindi ho presupposto che "Skidmore"fosse un tipo di milizia di quei tempi al servizio della regine/re d'Inghilterra.
Piu' verosimilmente dopo aver trovato questo:

"Skidmore Joseph, Pond street "

Ho scoperto,leggendo questo libro
che il forgiatore Joseph Skidmore di Sheffield era al 30 di Bailey Street.
Da qui si evince che e' nell'elenco dei forgiatori del 1822.
In quest'altro elenco viene posto tra le botteghe di Sheffield del 1829.
Data la sua forma, da te descritta, possiamo allora di sicuro presupporre che anche questo rasoio fu forgiato intorno agli anni 20 del 1800.
Non so dirti per ora nulla sulla scura,mi spiace,continuero' a cercare e ti avvisero' in maniera repentina.*

*Mi faceva notare paciccio che il simbolo della "scure"in realta' sembra quello de "pipe razor"in voga a quei tempi come prerogativa di molti rasoi in cast steel (acier fondu).Guarda qui a proposito del Dozzle

Clasp Knife and Razor Manufacturers

All,

In the spirit of fostering research and the use of documentation in our efforts on 'The Cutting Edge' CAS City forum, the following info might be of interest regarding 19th cutlery manufacturers.

Below is a list of straight razor and clasp (pocket) knife manufacturers extracted from the Goins’ Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings (1986) by John E. Goins, Knife World Publications. This excellent reference is out of print but worth owning if you can find a copy. My stop-date for this quick study was the American Civil War era, my mission at the time I worked on this project was to support living history efforts for that time period. Therefore makers active in the 1870s and 1880s are not targeted though many of the makers you see below were producing items then and sometimes beyond too. The cutlery makers listed below could have manufactured folding knives only, razors only, both folding knives and razors, made other types of cutlery, etc and such nuances are rarely delineated in my reference source for this project.

The intent of posting this list is for you to be able to confidently date at least some razors and pocket knives you may encounter in antique stores, auctions, yard sales, etc and know what you’re dealing with. St Geo, Mr Hunt, Prof Marvel, Dr Bob, RCJ, Delmonico, &c please feel free to add to the list below with your source info too where there are gaps.

Re: Il Giudice Henry T. Lummus

Messaggio da Aldebaran »

Il post in questione lo troverete linkato nel thread iniziale.

Dai testi in internet scritti da Lummus, oltre alla lista dei rasoi Sheffield con tanto di indice dei forgiatori e localita' specifiche, si desume anche che:

1.I simboli stanno ad indicare:
GR=George II,III,IV prima del 1830 (1820 circa)
WR [sovereign's Duty Mark] = William IV (1820-1837) ma questa sigla fu utilizzata anche nel 1850/1860
VR [sovereign's Duty Mark] = Victoria (1837-1901)
GR [sovereign's Duty Mark] = George V,VI (1910-1952)

2.Il rasoio Acier Fondu reca la scritta GB che sta ad indicare Great Britain (Gran Bretagna)e forse,dico forse, e' stato forgiato anche prime del 1820,addirittura intorno al 1770.

3.Nel 1820 il fisico Michael Faraday propose un metodo per amalgamare all'acciaio fuso (acier fondu,cast steel)l'argento.Sara' forse questo il segreto della cosidetta "finitura a specchio"originale?

grazie paciccio e aldebaran.
non avrei mai pensato che quel punzone è un crogiolo stilizzato. il "gambo", immagino fosse il manico. o era un tubo cavo da cui colava l'acciaio fuso?

Penso che sia la "seconda"che hai detto.
Grazie a te per la panoramica sui rasoi Sheffield, dovresti scrivere un articolo su un giornale di antiquariato come fece Lummus...Ne hai pure di piu'! :mrgreen:
A proposito del mio ultimo post si cui tratto il silver steel.Un'altra panoramica sulla lega argento-acciaio (cast steel) la trovate qui:

il vero silver steel conteneva davvero una piccola parte di Ag, di cui non vedo riferimementi nell'O1 e neppure nel CSS.
i vecchi rasoi in silver seel facevano un ossido simile all'Ag. lo scopo di tale lega, non era l'effetto antiruggine, che pure qualcosa faceva, in questo senso, o la lucidatura a specchio, ottenibile anche in non legati, ma aveve un grano più fine a parità di martellature.

Il libro nell'archivio di Google di cui ho postato il link afferma esattamente cio' che tu hai appena detto, ma e' scritto in maniera piu' generica,ovvero,che una piccola quantita' di argento nell'acciaio facilita la lavorazione della lama.
Che l'O1 e l'HSS non abbiano argento,come si puo' notare dalle tabelle da me redatte,e' sicuro.Forse coloro che hanno fatto questo riferimento,intendevano descrivere le prestazioni generali del prodotto finale comparandole con quelle di uno strumento in O1...Bho!
