This is a very intricately designed Straight Razor that has a beautiful etched blade with a very detailed design the words on the razor part of the blade it self says " THE CROWNPRINCE OF RUSSIA " With a child or young person in the middle of the blade. Near the base of the blade on the front has " CONSTANTINE BISKINTY " " MADE IN GERMANY " (NO QUOTATION MARKS) This razor was numbered on the back near the base of the blade on the medal it is numbered " 805 " The handle has an even more detailed design that I haven't seen either. The handle is made out of bone, I have been told. Someone actually said it looked like old Ivory, I am not sure. The design is carved in and hand painted foliage with the heads of (starting at the bottom near base of blade) A Buck, A Fox, A Rabbit or Female Deer. I have taken this to two appraisers I use often including my buddy who heavily collects straight razors. He had no idea and had never seen one like it. He did gie me a time frame that even surprised him as to how old it is, but want to see what others may have to say. He did say it was well made and a fine piece! He sent me here. I am not looking to hold onto this piece, I would like to sell it. Does anyone know anything helpful? I know a heck of a lot about rare and well any kind of book, trading cards, glass, art, movie posters etc if you would like to trade honest information. Thank you for your time and looking at this item.

I found it in an attic that had been sealed for 70 years, among other very random stuff that had been shoved up there with World War I stuff, letters, basin, other random objects, lots of it was wrapped in cloth - I dont remember eactly what this was wrapped in.
