Any ideas on razor make?

It's almost impossible to say given the number of manufacturers. What makes you think it's 1930s?
I guess it's not often to find an example with no makers marks but there could be a simple explanation that it just missed that part of the process or maybe someone was slipping a few to sell privately.
The fact that it has three pins doesn't help with identification although it does generally denote a bit more quality.
What's of more importance is whether it will take an edge and shave well.

Question on manufacturers? There seems to be untold hundreds of 'manufacturers from one location in England and one location in Germany . Any idea if these 'manufacturers' just Finished off blanks or they actually made the whole razor???
Why I ask is that the value should be determined by the maker of the blank and not necessarily the name on the razor.

That's a nice razor, I think its a good buy, if I am not wrong its a 6/8 Hamburg ring type ground, and in my opinion they are easier to hone,strop and use.
