It's hard to tell from the profile photo, but the rear face looks straight like a wedge. If that is so, then its a microtome razor. Could just be the picture making it look like that on my monitor, though.

Scales look like horn to me - correct material for the period - I think I would replace them with something appropriate.

That's actually exactly what it looks like to me, but I didn't realize such a thing was possible, outside of a Japanese-style razor. The face is just barely hollow (I wouldn't even call it a quarter, to my eye), and the back has no hollow at all...

Hmm...I'll see if I can come up with a better pic...but my camera/its user seems to have issues with focusing on profile photos. I've yet to have a successful one.

Thanks to everyone for the info and opinions, BTW.
