Thank you Mike! I was able to trace the patent number to Emrich G.m.b.H. - a German company. The patent has been UK registered in 1926, which is in compliance with your date (1926-27).
I have purchased a silver and tshell? moustache comb. I could not match its hallmarks anywhere, could you please help me to identify it? http://sv1.letmehost.com/sv1/13/hm001.jpg http://sv1.letmehost.com/sv1/13/hm003.jpg http://sv1.letmehost.com/sv1/13/hm002.jpg
