I can appreciate the desire for more info, but from the fair warning department: Tom's post above pretty much sums up all that is likely to be discovered about it. The shape, grind, and tang stamp can give some hints as to where and when it was made, but other than that...? It is virtually impossible to identify the individual who made razors like this or the workshop from which it originated.
If you want to use it, then clean it up, get an edge on it (this will require a fair amount of removal of material to get to good steel by the looks of it), and try it out. As was mentioned previously, it could be a winner, so you never know. Might be worth a shot. If it isn't intended for use, then just enjoy it and embrace the mystery.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
