Forgot to ask.....is there anyway to determine its age?

Around 1925 is my guess

Wow! I thought 1950ies, or there abouts.
Nice! Thanks

My #29 F. Herder Abr. Sohn

On the top picture the staining looks worse than it actually is. Scales are mildly scratched but nothing major.
I’m contemplating on leaving everything just as is. I kind of like the speckled look.
Any idea on the age of this blade?
Also 20ies?

I received it yesterday. Just cleaned it with warm soapy water and a brush and gave it a light polish.
80 grams in its original scales.
Its my first 8/8. I’m wondering how such a massive blade will shave.

End of the 19e century- begin 1900. Put a edge on and do a testshave after that you can always do some polishing.

I was very lucky to be able to acquire a 1902 Dutch language Friedrich Herder catalogue. I've scanned the relevant shaving related pages for you. All sizes in Rhineland thumbs, al prices per in guilder per dozen, with case.

Thanks for sharing

I found a Heinrich Herder 81 not so long ago. I have shaved with it but it does need a little more polishing.

@ehv Thanks, I have seen you bidding on some Herders, love to see them when they are ready

@Tony I'm not an artisan like you. But I'll do my best. It's a learning curve.

found another last week, a rebranded R. A. Herder model 20. I spotted it because I had one in the past
This one has had a quick clean up and is shown in temporary scales till I have made some new ones for him.
22 mm which makes it a near 7/8”

Fr Herder 88

Richard Abr Herder 1 with some patina spots. The shape looks like a Friedrich Abr Herder 25. The size is a little above 6/8.
