I'm going to say date sounds right. But that's just because so many others did. I really have no idea.

The scales are of that era and the blade shape also. Warranted was a common strike. The piece of pewter on the side was a commonly available item in that and other designs. Those scales are wonderful.. The blade grind and shape will make it a great shaver
I would call this a "do not sell ever!" razor.
Have it professionally honed carefully and enjoy the shaves from your winner!
Merry Christmas!

As to the mark "Warranted" Back in the day, the word warranted meant that the razor exactly met any advertising as to its shape, size and quality. The mis-use of the word could bring serious legal consequences. If a ship were warranted to be a certain length if it was off by even a few inches, the insurance ( "Lloyd's of London" ) would be null and void; whether paid or not.
Interesting how history and the language change as we move through time.
