1958 TV Special Superspeed question

Looking for some help. Is there any difference between the TV Special and other late 50's superspeeds apart from the knurling on the handle?

As far as I know, I do believe that the knurling is only difference. Other than that it's the same as any other late 50's SS. Someone more knowledgeable will chime in. I found a couple of links for TV Special razors from Gillettes. Thanks to Mr. Razor for his site the links below are taken from his site:

Thanks. Fits with what I've been able to find out. So any premium for the TV special is based on it's rarity, not any special shaving characteristics. As opposed to, for example, the red tip which seems to be prized for way it shaves.
