Hello Achim,
nice collection. I see two things missing, the Gen 2 Aristocrat and the last head variant of the Slim twist. The later came with custom handles, so it's possible that the gold plating was done by a third party.
Can it be that exhibit no 11 is a small head? Then it's more 60ies than 50ies.

Hello Achim,
Gen 2, it was in a pigskin case so I think it's a No 19.

Slim twist, from you
but there are several handle designs.

Small head is the three piece T bar with "shorter" doors, like late US flare tips. I see that no 11 has the one piece T bar, but the doord look to be shorter, maybe only an illusion.

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! 
Mister Razor... He's the man!!!
So, is this the complete family? I have British Aristocrat that looks like your #4 or #8. Any way to know which it is?
What can you say, magnificent Sir.
Sie sind der Mensch!!!
Beautiful Achim.
I'm only 11 behind you.

Lovely collection, Achim, sehr schön. Thank you for sharing.
Another great benefit of this thread, you awoke @Copierguy from his hibernation.
