I'm not sure they are so rare as to justify replating a Milord. After the cost of a decent Milord and replating you could probably find a real Ranger with a box for less. And it wouldn't be a fake.
1941 Ranger Tech Safety Razor

I know the Rangers come up on that popular auction site fairly often. You just have to be patient.
If memory serves; one there may ruin a hundred dollar bill.
Buyer beware as they say.

Sorry, quoted the wrong post.

If it is the name you are after then you have to get the actual razor. If it is the shave you are after then you could get a Ranger Tech, Regent Tech, Milord, or Aristocrat made between '40 and '47, they all have the same head.
I'm not saying this as a way to cheat someone, but merely that they would shave the same and if they preferred the nickel as oppose to the gold. The same could be said for the Senator and Sheraton though the door mechanism is slightly different.
This is my 40-41 Milord. The plating on the handle was gone so I just polished it up. It shaves great, efficient and smooth.

That's a Fine looking razor.
I think Milord's are under rated. They're the same as Super Speeds and Ranger Techs, but they just don't seem to get their kudos. Which is funny when you realize they pre-date SS's and the Ranger Tech is just a nickel plated Milord.- Thread starter

I couldn't do that it's not the same thing I won't say that it's the last great reazor ever made it doesn't even have to do the rarity of it I like this sleek look of it in the historical significant if I remember my history correctly I should because I was a history major longtime ago this razors production. Due to the fact the World War II was coming and all efforts we're donated to wartime needs I also couldn't do it because the fact that everything has to be in order for me example I can't just have to razor I have to have the box with it if I don't have the box I have to find now asked for the condition of the razor if it has a little ware on it I may just leave the old patina or I may get replated
Well when I got mine it was in nearly mint condition, but had no box. Later I found a box sold separate that I purchased. Keep an eye open for one, people are always mis-listing them.
They continued to make the 3-Piece Tech, the military version at least. Bakelite handle, with black painted (non-reflective) head cap. I think the base plate is made of steel instead of plated brass. If you're interested in history it's worth picking one up.
From Mr. Razor's website:
Ironically, I have been following this thread for the past few days and then over the weekend while wandering through a small antique store with my wife, I found this old razor on a table. Price tag read $1! Needless I bought it and took it home, thinking it was a 40s SS. However, from what I have seen and read here, it looks to be the 1941 Ranger Tech.
nice find !!!!!
Cool!
What a coincidence! Enjoy it!
Great find!
Great Set for sure. Congrats 
woot woot!
Score!!!
One ... dollar. I keep saying it slowly over and over. One ... dollar. What a great find! Congrats.
[emoji23] I didn't do quite that good with mine and I think OP'S may be better!
