Approx age of this ebay razor?
Hi all,
I picked up this razor on ebay (result of a few to many beers whilst surfing the net:) I liked the shape of it, and thought it looks in reasonable condition for a restore project.

I have an inkling that it dates from approx 1820-1830 based on the shape. It doesn't seem to have any makers mark, but does state "Real Silver Steel" on the tang.
Am I in the ballpark, or have I picked up a lemon? The seller stated the handles were some sort of celluloid, but look more like horn in the photo's.
Any help greatly appreciated,
J
