help for vintage gillette set identification

dear all,

a few days ago I bought the gillette set that you can see in the following pictures. it seems similar to 460b standard set there are some big differences:

- the gillette logo in the case is on a patch without the "made in USA" stitching. It's seems quite similar to the one seen in some ABC pocket edition
- on the bottom of the case there is an imprint with patent numbers
- the razor itself has the (serial) number on the handle: F282821
- there is a strange symbol on the lower part of the guard:it seems a G in an uncomplete box
-on the upper part of the inner tube there is a non completly readible written: NOV 15.04.1?
- on the lower part of the cap there is the Gillette trademark diamond logo, but lack the "Made in USA"
-same thing on the guard (no serial number)
-razor weight:49,8 gr
- blade cases width 10 mm.

someone knows what this set is?

thanks.

Single Ring, made in England. Considering the case, for the French market. But the experts will tell you...

Very nice one, congrats!

thanks a lot for your answer! just another question: why the case seems to be for the french market?

Well, I've seen those cases in sets for that market. That... and because the razor carries the G-in-D stamp, widely known to be in razors for France. But I'm no expert at all.

Enjoy that beauty!
