Comment on Antique razor ID help

I’m having a lot of trouble identifying the handle though, those older Gillettes almost always had knurling on the bottom… www.mr-razor.com/Rasierer/Old Type/Old Type.htm

It looks like it might be a knock off Gillette Long Comb. The handle is the same but the plates are slightly different.

The head looks authentic to me. Very common to replace the handle of a 3 piece razor if the handle breaks or to make it look different. Lots of companies were making compatible parts.
But it might be another Gillette handle there just aren’t good pictures of on the Internet, they made a lot.

If you look up “gillette new long comb”, the handles are identical. What makes me think the plates might be knockoff is the lack of maker’s mark.

But it does have a valid Gillette stamp code on it. It may just be a Frankenstein.
