I agree, that stubby tang/tail it looks like it could be much older than 1940's What is on the tang?

The tang is stamped MERIT . I don't know where it was made , but I would guess Sheffield , and I believe the scales are original to the razor .

Thanks ! I think it dates between 1800-1820 , going by the way it looks . It was listed as a wood handle straight razor , from the 1940's . The pics were pretty bad , and the scales looked white . I knew it was early 1800's by the look of blade , and the stub tail . I was surprised that I was the only bidder .
