Identify a brush please?

View attachment 290284
I found this at an antique shop, and it ended up being my first "real" shaving brush. I have been looking online for what this brush could be and have found two possibilities, either the Muhle (i believe i saw one possibility at TSS), or Shaving by Alexander. I'm not sure what this brush is, but even after getting a 2-band and a SOC this is still fun to use. It is pure bristles as far as i can tell, but they're not as scritchy as i expected pure bristles to be. Any help would be appreciated, and as always if i put this in the wrong place, feel free to move it!

Looks like this to me. It was my brush as well. It began shedding profusely, so I drilled it out and put a TGN 2-band finest knot in. Damn heavy handle..

so true! this handle is a beast, and it was scary when i was bowl lathering. There is no identifying markings on it. This one hasn't lost a single hair since i've had it, and so far appears to be of quality. Sadly this looks exactly like the muhle and shaving by alexander, and the handle is the same shape as Col Conk, but the picture on amazon makes the bristles appear to be "loose" with space between handle and hair. Thanks for your quick response gingerbread!
