I second this as well if it's silver in color.
If it's gold in color, it would be a Diplomat.
An awesome razor and great shaver either way. Congrats and enjoy!
Nice score. Congrats and enjoy.

This razor is actually gold. Does that make it a Diplomat ? Only plate loss is where the doors contact the
face. Rescued from an antique store but close to new condition.
Also found a red dot, gold fat boy, and a Slim in the same run to reliable stores.
Thanks guys once again for all your input.
I need to post a pic of all four .........

I love these threads, they are so educational for me. Nice razor! 
Sounds like you have made some awesome scores! Diplomat and an Executive - nice!
A true red dot? 1958 date code, which is D1, to be exact. I'd like to see it.
The crowd around here can get a little surly if you don't show photos after saying something like this.
We want the red dot, we want the red dot!!!![emoji38]The crowd around here can get a little surly if you don't show photos after saying something like this.

Ok.... so here's the thing......NOT a red dot.
An executive and a diplomat in the same weekend....still good.
But i had to go for the hat trick.
Very embarassing, indeed.
I will slink back to my lurker status now.

Hey, What you did get is quality. Cant blame you for that. You made a great score. Cant find stuff like that around here for some reason. I'll keep looking but...
