Consider that done.

Would anybody have any more information on the attachement thing or the brand since I can't find it in the good list nor in the avoid list .

I can assure you that if you send it to someone on this site, it will be in good hands. It's definitely safer than trying to clean it up and sharpen it yourself just starting out. I hope Glen doesn't mind my continuous recommendations for heirlooms, but here are a few of his:

The scales (handles) on your razor look to be in good shape so my amateur opinion would be that those would remain, unless you want otherwise.

As to the brand, I'd say that it's a quality blade as most vintages are. I only found one mention of it here but someone over on B&B had a picture of theirs:
