I found this set in the wild today, but it came with a ball end in it. Every one I've ever seen has contained a Bulldog, so I figured the ball end was mismatched from another set. But then I looked at the razor and it was marked J9939, indicating that it too was likely sold to the military in 1919.
Has anyone seen any evidence that the "Officer's Set" ever included the more common ball end seen in the smaller khaki sets?
I still think the razor is mismatched, but the "J" serial number has me wondering a bit.
As a post script, oddly enough it also came with the brush from this set, but the tube is not marked Gillette on the side as shown in this photograph.
And I know, pictures or it didn't happen. I'll try to get to those later tonight.
