Date that Tech?

Recently got hold of an old Gillette ball end Tech from a local charity shop. But despite lots of searches on here I'm struggling to date it accurately. If anyone can tell, or suggest a useful link, I'd be really grateful. It has only "Made in England" and "Gillette" on the bottom plate, nothing at all on the top plate. Handle seems very heavy and solid. It came in a silver coloured metallic case, which was part of a leather toiletry set. Oh and it shaves like a dream. If I had to shave every day of the week, this is probably what I'd use.
 
If it's made in the USA, and I'm seeing correctly (no date code, right?) with the straight sided slots an no date code, it should be 1946-1950.

1938-1945 had slightly triangular slots. 1951-1973 had a date code.
 
Oh and it shaves like a dream. If I had to shave every day of the week, this is probably what I'd use.

Techs are really great razors. I shave with my Tech at least once a week. I have a Cooncatbob Bull Mastiff XL being made, and I can't wait to try my re-plated Tech head with it. :thumbup1:
