Picked up for the princely sum of £3!
Is this a bargain?

That’s a steal!
It's a good deal regardless, but it's very good deal if it's an E2. Can you put up a picture of the underside of the head?
3£?!?! Saw you comin’. 
Yup indeedy!
Great razor at any price. I just used one yesterday. At that price it’s a steal. Especially boxed. Nicely done.

I'll try and get a decent pic up later.
It says Patent 1937 Made In Canada so from the brief reading I've done I think that means G series maybe???
If there's no visible seam down the center of the handle, it's an E-Type. I'd say you got a bargain.
While I'm not as familiar with the Canadian variants of the injectors I do believe you have an E2 or an E3 there. Probably an E2 based on the guard, there are no grooves. To be more confident I need to see how the spring attaches to the head. If it's suppose to be moveable it's an E2.
I agree with@ Jim99 That is a good price.

OK, couple more pics....
There is fluting on the corners of the handle but not sure if that constitutes the groove that's been mentioned.
Also, there is a blade in it at the moment which looks a bit worse for wear but I'd planned to leave in place until I get some brand new ones. I presume the blade needs to be removed to allow the spring to rotate?

It's an e3 model, the spring isn't suppose to rotate but you can see a small semicircle scratch that indicates that someone did anyway. They likely used pliers, I recommend against doing the same yourself. The springs are fairly resilient but can be damaged still.
Leave the blade in until you get new ones. The new blade pushes out the old blade in a single motion. Pm me your address and I will send you some Personna and schick injector blades.
There are no grooves in the safety bar so I am going with E2. Only the early E2s opened.

Ahh my mistake, I thought the determining factor was whether or not it could open.There are no grooves in the safety bar so I am going with E2. Only the early E2s opened.

The grooves in the safety bar are the tell then?
The E3 added the grooves on the safety bar, so that makes the determination. Appleby made his chart years ago and it has not been updated, hence BBS-1'S thread referenced above.
