Straight razor. Illegible maker hollow ground blade with a pressed horn handle depicting a soldier, men on horses, and "Platoff", the pile side has a double headed eagle, a seated man, and "Alexander". Again, pressed horn handle patterns were typically designed to tell a story. I believe this is a battle scene involving the military leaders of "Alexander," Alexander I; Constantin, Grand Duke of Russia; and "Platoff," Count Platoff, Hetman of Cossacks.
