No GinD or GinBox on the razor. I looked on the case the razor came in as well and none there either. Attaching some pictures of the case which shows the British patent # on the bottom as well as the blade cases and both vintage blades in the blade holders.

British black pigskin 505 ABC with gold fittings. Most likely double stamped with serial on the bottom, ribbon has the line logo. Serial is A001219, making exactly zero sense.

Bump. Canada was part of the British dominion until 1931, so, imho, Canadian sets could have been labeled "British made" in ads.
I'm pretty confident that the high E/F serial 460 and combination sets are actually from 1917-18, carrying a Canadian serial number (after the C/PC prefix was deleted) with an E/F prefix, standing for England and France.

From the 25th years anniversary issue of the Gillette blade. Source: razorarchive.com
I'm 100% sure high serial E and F razors were in fact made in Canada.
On a slightly different topic, if you read the whole issue, there is basically no mention of
a French or German factory, only the already well known sales agents and offices.
