Got this uncased razor and blade case in excellent condition. It has a Tuckaway handle, but a NEW head. Does that make it a Norfolk?
TIA

Is this a Norfolk or Tuckaway?

Chris, yes I think it's a Norfolk.
It might also be the ladies version, that comes in a plastic case. Rodd would know for sure.

I do not believe is a Norfolk. Norfolks should have the same head as a regular new and yours has the De Luxe style head.
It does look like Rodd's 3rd photo. But it also looks like Achim's New Deluxe Lady Gillette. Ally you need now is the pristine Jade case and the mailer in perfect condition.
here is a The New DeLuxe Norfolk Chromium from 1931 (it's Date Code on blade B-2)
I like this thread. 
Could be either a New Norfolk Deluxe or a New Milady. If it came with that blade case my guess would be a Milady, but either way, fantastic score.

I suspect that it is New Deluxe Milady missing its case. It looks exactly like that in the picture from Achim's site. Of course the New Deluxe Norfolk may be the exact same razor, too.
Beautiful set!!! Looks like we are seeing more than one serious Gillette collection in Berlin....

I'll be in Berlin on business later in the year. Any shaving sites to visit? I thought I would go Irisch Moos hunting!

Thank you. I think you're right about Berlin.
I have seen a lot yours beautiful Gillettes posted on this forum - you do have a great collection and your sets are all in the mint condition. Great!
Thanks Achim!
What is the difference in the Norfolk razor and the Milady razor in the pictures above. How would you tell the two razors apart?
You can't without the case. They are the same.
Anyone else look at those pictures and hear porn music in their head?
