Hi, just bought one like this on the bay. It's a faux frameback, or so I believe, with a barber's notch.
Does anyone know what model it is?

Anyone?
I don't think it's a faux frame back at all. It looks to me to be a shoulderless razor. It's the first barbers notch CV I've seen.
Interesting. Nice razor. Any other photos?
Maybe modified by a previous owner?
I think that horizontal line (below the spine) is a reflection, but I could be wrong.
Same here.
Here is a reference guide...

Heljestrand did not make a faux frameback that I know of.

Had 2 similar blades. One restored and one in original condition. Very smooth shavers, Loved them!

very pretty, indeed.
Quite common to find in Sweden.
Shoulderless design, very light & nimble, awesome, lovely steel.
The spine is often a tad softer then the edge (probably due to differential hardening) so a layer of tape whne honing is a godd idea.

oh my.....
Wow. I imagine that will shave like a dream razor.
Very nice indeed. Frame back or not? It's still hard to tell.
They shave unbelievably well. Some days I wonder why I gave them away
