RARE Antiqur Straight Razor Mold Cast or Uncut Blade RARE | eBay
Looks like a stamped blade blank. Similar to the ones in the old Dovo youtube video. I don't remember which video it is but probably one of the top three.

Not to be rude, but
Wait............. what?????? is your question?
Heh I actually was the one who picked this one up. I have no idea on rarity; certainly I don't see them much. I believe it is an initial razor stamping (most of the newer hollow ground razors in Solingen were stamped rather than forged). Here is one that went off earlier but I didn't get: 2 Antique Vintage "Uncut Cut " Straight Edge Razors Blade Only L K | eBay
Note it has the bar of steel stil attached from which it was stamped. Here's a screen of the old DOVO video of production; you can see the stamping with the bar.

I think the hole on one side is a stamped pilot hole. So I think these couple auctions were reject stampings that made it out rather than getting reprocessed.
so scienceguy are you going to try and finish this razor are just keep it as is?
Cool! good deal.
Personally. I lke the Dudley Do-Right glasses he's selling.
