That looks like a #15 made from the early 1950s into the 60s. Lots of old threads on these, here is one with some pics.

Congrats on finding a great razor! Many times these show some corrosion even in NOS packaging due to some poor storage conditions (unlike yours).

Early 1950's to 60's, If it had D.R.G.M. on it, then it was made pre-World War II.

Nice looking razor, great find

)Beautiful razor, one I've always wanted to try out. Thanks for the picture!
I got this one today. I overpaid for it on eBay but oh well. On a side note if anyone wants the case just pm me. I have no need for the case. It shaved beautifully. Is this a #15 as well?
Yes, it's a No.15, congrats. Have you tried it yet?
it looks like more a Tech than a OC TTO #15
Yes. I loved the shave with it. I had read where they were great shavers and I've been looking for one for ages. One finally showed up on the bay and I made an offer on it and won.
Here is another Rotbart to add to the inventory. It is 74 grams and is extra heavy compared to the normal model. Appears to be plated in silver and is pre World War II according to Alex's designation. Have not shaved with it as yet but imagine it is probably similar to the Gillette new improved open comb. Nice shape with little plating loss. Only at the base of the handle that the adjustment knob works against.

@Zeppelinkarte: Nice Rotbart, there was one similar to that one to be had on the bay the other day, it looked goo but your photographs are better.
I took possession about 2 weeks ago of my Rotbart Mond-Extra, it seems to have the same head bottom plate as yours but a different handle (and is also slightly less heavy than yours):

Mine is very similar to Smoothy's (53 grams)
Very nice find, congrats!
Those are very pretty pick ups! Congrats!
Looks like the Rotbart Mond and the Merkur 33C share a lot in common.
