There are exceptions to every rule so after you have it honed up I hope it shaves well for you.
thanks Jimmy , I was dubious on the razor having no markers mark but I sooo liked the curvy look of the tang and the overall appearance of the razor,for me it justified takin a chance and if Im lucky it will be the exception to the rule ..heres hoping ..Baz

I was tempted too. I thought there were some reminants of a stamp on the front of the tang, but couldn't tell. Also, since the blade looks reground to me, it's possible the mark was there but removed.
The shape/style of the tail, tang, and shoulder is very unusual - maybe that was modified as well? Please let us know how this one shaves.
for sure I will , I probly wont recieve for 7-10 days but I will certainly update this thread hopefully it will take 2 the hone an shave well ..Baz
