    If Pakistan is stamped on the tang more than likely you have a razor shaped object (RSO) and not a real straight razor. Possibly a suitable letter opener though.

    I believe they were the Chinese predecessor to the gold dollar, if I'm not mistaken.

    The search function shows no relevant threads. I would have to question age and place of manufacture, those are two of the biggest clues. There have been some terrible razors made in Germany but only in recent times and they are listed in the do not buy list. Pics!

    Two Golden Men is from Pakistan. Not a Gold Dollar predecessor.

    Most Pakastani made razors are made with such poor steel they will never hold a decent edge.

    A genuine RSO.

    Possible uses:
    Letter Opener
    Butter knife
    Display (kidding)
    Conversation Piece

    May your lather be moist and slick, the sweep of your razor sure, and your edge always keen!

    I found one that appears to be the named razor, from Pakistan.

    Is this the razor OP?

    edit: KCOA - we posted at the same time...yes, RSO
