Help identify a slant

Hello friends!
Well, I have this german slant in bakalite and zamak. A corner's gone on the cap, but overall in good shape.
I wonder if anyone knows anything about it?

Marked with both german 490330 and U.S 1,751,215 patentnumber. Patented in Germany 29/1 1930 and in U.S.A 18/3 same year. Germany made a lot of unmarked razors. I hope it's a Merkur because I have two others. It's light, 32,5 gram so it's qualify for a travel slant. I shaved with it but used my Ikon Bulldog and the audio feedback is amazing but a little bit on the aggressive side.

So ladies and gents, do you know anything about my slant?

No ... but I just found out which razor Ikon copied to make their slants.

Cool razor btw ... it's a shame the cap is missing a corner, but you can still enjoy it.

Yes, still shaves good and now when you say it, the Ikon does look the same!
Or did Ikon copied my pug named Tage? :)

Thank you guys for pointing out MULCUTO. I cant find that much info though, do we know more about the company? They did make straights and SE as well. That I know and the company was located in Solingen, Germany.
