I would guess that that's just Gift&Care's internal stock number.Does anyone know which one this model number represents?
Model FA42100

Virtually all reliable suppliers will be selling the Mk2. I would think eBay would be about the only/best place to get the Mk1. And it should arrive in the correct box (as shown in their pics).
Mk1 box left. Mk2 box right.

Alignment issues aside. I suspect that the Mk1 may soon not only be difficult to get hold of, but it may start costing a lot more than the Mk2. Think Mühle R41, 2011 version vs the current 2013 version.
Here's the Piccolo Mk1 (left) and Mk2 (right):

The Piccolos come with the Henry Ford choice. You can have any plating you like, as long as it's nickel.They are Nickel plated, or is that chrome?
For further information (and to stop derailing this thread ), check out Fatip Piccolo Mk1 & Mk2 differences.Oh yeah, I forgot not all handles fit those heads hmmm.

Us Piccolo lovers at the PLC wouldn't dream of fitting another handle to our pride and joy!
It wouldn't be a Piccolo any more!
Beaming up @Raven Koenes who has both. I only have the Piccolo.Not the handle size and/or shape so much that concerns me, but the difference in weight between the Piccolo and the Grande handles. I assume the Grande handle would be similar in size and weight to the common bar handle on my NEW SC, while the Piccolo handle might be slightly heavier.
I'm a Chevy guy so I'll take mine in gold

Thanks for the link, and since I'll be comparing it directly to the NEW SC when I do get one, this thread isnt completely off the tracks lol.

The original handle cannot be improved upon!
Get a spare Piccolo handle and tap it to fit the Gillette.
* vintage Gillette - 10-32I have a Boss razor handle thats a clone of the Sabi long handle. Maybe it would fit them, but I dont have a tap set to check what the threads are but they are larger than the 10/32 Gillette threads.
Rudy, are the 10-32 and m5x0.8 compatible? Just started considering an after market handle for a NEW.* vintage Gillette - 10-32
* standard modern handle - M5x0.8
* Fatip handle - M4.5x0.7
Hmm. Is the Tech threaded differently than the New? I ask because my Boss Razor handle does fit the Tech fine.Thanks.
I had this idea for my NEW SC, but it doesnt fit...

Maybe it will the Fatip though.

I think they are for the first 5 threads, then they start to bind but I'm not 100% sure.
