Nub Tail?

[Magpie]

This is about as short of a tail as I have seen on a razor. (aside from pictures)

There do not seem to be any marks on the tang, and if there was ever anything on the blade face, its unreadable now. ( I cant tell if its just random scritch marks, or whats left of engraving)

Can anybody offer any insight as to age, or origins?
