Help identifying British Gillette

[raffijian]

I found this razor in my stash and forgot that I had it. For the life of me I can't remember what it is.

Can anyone chime in?

The British patent numbers on the bottom of the handle start with 3.

The picture on the right has the razor in the middle.

Thanks.

Sweet. A two piece British NEW. Excellent razor.

Two-piece British open comb - looks to be a #77/#88 (only the case differs). I have a #88 with the metal case and I think it's the same but will check.

Do you know if this razor (#88) is silver or nickel plated?

Can't tell if it's silver or nickel. There is slight plating loss on the top of the head and also in the fist picture of the razor by itself. I see the brass underneath the plating.

Any way of knowing how to check to determine whether it is silver or nickel?

Thanks.
