Thanks, as I am really new to this straight razor community!

Welcome to SRP. I'm afraid the thumbnail you posted is too small to tell anything. A larger photo, + a close up of the inlay and any mfgs stamping on the tang might yield some results.

Looks like it says "WARRANTED" to me...

Can you get a full resolution picture? This one's really hard to see.

Looks like "warranted" as well. Lots of the stubbies were stamped as such. Great old scales and may be the originals, hard to tell but certainly the same period as the blade. Not sure about the inlay. My guess is that it dates to the 1820-1830 period. Five bucks was a real deal. Congrats on this find. Love those stubbies!
