Dating a ERMA 5 Solingen?

[nader]

greetings gents!

a couple of days ago I purchased my first vintage straight razor, it is a "5 ERMA" by Ernst Mandewirth from Solingen. I searched the web and german forums what year or timeframe it it could be made but to no avail... So, i hope i'll find here someone with great knowledge that can provide a rough date estimate. Thank you

Here's some pictures:

I found that cutlery made Hitler youth knives. The auction site also had no info on maker but says rare to see the mandewirth brand. I found them on a cutlery list also but no dates of operation. Most likely bombed along with others. So let's go with late 30's as a guess to the age of your blade.

The maker was Ernst Mandewirth and was probably made pre WWII (20's to 30's)
