1911 Pocket Edition ?

[Boro62]

So I picked these up from an antique shop while digging around after the owner said they had no double edged razors. Ended up picking it up for $45. It looked like a 1911 Pocket edtion from the case and the razor looked like an old type. But razor handle looked like someone tried to repair it at some point and also had a crack in the handle. Also not 100% sure what kind of razor it is. There is no serial # on it also none of the usual letter/# year/quarter date stamp on it. anyone have any idea what this is exactly? or did i stumble across some sort of super frankenrazor set? Here are the pics!

It´s a Pocket Edition 503-B. Without serial number it´s made between 1921-1929.

Isnt the 503-b a Canadian Pocket?

I also thought the 503-b was canadian and also had a different handle on the razor?

the style of case gives the set number:

500: Plain case
501: Basket Pattern
502: Shell Pattern
503: Flower Pattern
504: Empire Pattern.

These sets comes a long time with different handles (ABC, ball end handle) in USA, Canada ...

The last little piece to the numbering scheme is the letter (or lack of one) which designates the finish:

No. 503	Silver-plated case and razor
No. 503 A	Gunmetal case and gold-plated razor
No. 503 B	Gold-plated case and razor

Nice find! Especially considering the fact that they didn't have any DE razors!

Almost an identical one - the Empire - came up on Pawn Stars.

I believe what Rick said, NOBODY COLLECT THESE ! Send me everything you got, since you don't collect these.
