Gillette Super Adjustable/ Black Beauty help

[Vincenzo]

hi ladies and gents.

Looking to find out some information here about the super adjustable\ black beauty. My father gave me one when i first started DE shaving. I think it made in 1982.

Now i see on the internet there are some with a long handled and a short handled version.

How can i tell if i have a long or short handled version?

Thanks for the help

The long handle version is not as short as the short handle version. 109mm vs 87mm I believe. Post a pic. The proportions are obvious to any DE gurus here.

If it's less than 4 inches, it's the short handle.
