Went to the local market today (which is pretty lame at best) and bugger me if this wasn't siting on a table saying buy me ......Has the following on the base plate...

BRITPAT NO430,030

Also has 2 blades Gillette Blue and Irish Elka Super Stainless

Pretty happy with it for $15.00

That's a fantastic score! How does the outside of the case look? Interior looks great.

 

[cactusjack]

The outside of the case is good. Some minor pitting but no major blemishes in it.

Nice find

That's an awesome score for $15!

I know that Achim's got this set listed on his site as a No. 21, but I'm fairly sure that this set continued to be called the No. 15 even after the change from open comb to guard bar. The numbers went with the sets not the razors, and this other set is very clearly the No. 21 (first image below). But if you look at the same catalog that Achim's got inset there you can see that it also still shows this set that you've got as the No. 15 (second image below).

I love it.

Great score - but where in OZ did you find this?

My 'in the wild' finds are usually pretty lame!

So the other #15 we call it a TTO/open comb #15 and this is safety guard #15?

You really got a great deal there. Those British Aristocrats are very nice razors.I have a #15 and it's a real nice shaver.

I found it on a table at a weekend market in Wangaratta of all places ;-)
