One Of Two Vintage Straight Razors I bought from a seller on ebay recently

this is the before pic...before I cleaned it up

 

Mrked 'Gold Bug' REG IN U.S. PAT. OFF. on the show side of the shank

 

Flip side reads W.C. Heimerdinger Co. INC Louisville KY. Germany

 

so where it was made in Germany, I don';t know at this point...I've yet to do any research on it
