    Since there are no marks on it, there really is no way of knowing what brand or model it really is. One can see that it is a vintage razor, wedge shaped, apparently without much damage. My guess is it is going to be a lovely shaver, in any case. Grats, good score

    it COULD be a red imp. With that said, there are way too many vintage razors that look like this to say. Spike wedges, prosperity wedges, superwedges, wedges, etc, are all labels that you'll see on a razor that looks like this. These would definitely not be the stock scales if it were a red imp.
    Go get someone to engrave it with 'red imp' and you'll have what you want

    The Red Imps I've had, had very deep stamps. IMO, there's no way that razor is an Imp. Whatever brand it is, must have used acid etching to put their makers mark on. Which can be made to disappear pretty fast IMHO. I don't think Case used acid etching. Pretty sure all their stuff is stamped.
