the really old ones have serial numbers on the handle. think they stopped doing that in the 1930s. nice razor, if you like it i would keep shaving with it.
i would venture a guess yours is a later model from in or around 70s. thats when they used that etched top cap.
My dad bought it while he was in the navy and was stationed in England, just after the Korean war, so the early 50’s. I’ve heard about the serial numbers, but mine has one one side “Rolls Razor” then C and B with the C above the B. On the other side it says “Made in England” and there’s a 7. I can’t find a source that helps me date it. I’d just say the early 50s since that’s when my father bought it.

Wait, I think I sent the wrong message. My new ball end tech is just like the one Mr. Razor has on his site: http://mr-razor.com/Rasierer/Tech/1940s Gold Tech Presentation Set.jpg Sorry, I’m still getting used to all of this vs. Reddit, which was easy for me.
