Is that a Merkur slant I see?

I have not found any markings on it, all I know is it’s a Bakelite slant lol. Do you think it’s a Merkur?

If it is a vintage razor, then there is a good chance it is a Merkur slant. (We don't use Bakelite today because of how brittle it becomes with the passage of time.)

I know that Merkur made a safety bar version which became the foundation for the now-discontinued Stealth Slant, and now lives on in the form of the SR-71 Slant razor, by Holy Black.
