I don’t think that's a Gillette razor, there are no markings on the bottom plate and the afore mentioned seems like it's a stamped piece...

I concur, looks like a copy of an Old Type.

This is a German travel razor made in Solingen, most likely by the company Aequator Solingen . The "A Safety Razor Compendium" includes this information " Aequator Rob. Hömanne Söhne, Germany. On 1922 trade name list. Copy of Gillette double ring style; silver plated. ".
A complete set of this razor is sold on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/225202857361

Not a Gillette, thin stamped sheet metal baseplate. Low cost OLD type knock off.

There were many OLD type knock offs in the thirties and forties, US, Germany, England, Argentina, France, and others, some nice, some not so much.

The top one is cheaper and made in the same style. In any case, I'm 99.9% sure it's a German razor.
