It does look new. It came in a dark green bakelite case with two blade holders and a snap together blade holder which shows one edge of the blade. I have no idea what its for, but the whole lot is a great travel kit.

Shaved with it this morning taking my time to enjoy it. It shaves great with my Derby blades and I'm sure it will be one of my favourites.
Many thanks to Onotoman for his effort in replating it.

Dave is replating three of my razors right now. Can't wait to see them when they are done. Your 88 looks fantastic. Can you post some images of the case and blade holder? Enjoy.
