Old Type ID HELP!

Hello everyone. I recently inherited a razor from my father-in-law and have had very little luck with ID'ing it. The head seems to be an old type open comb but I don't see with this type of handle except in this eBay post Vintage Gillette Ball End Military Contract Tech Safety Razor | eBay

I appreciate any help and I'm beginning to think the head and handle maybe from 2 different models.

Yep. The old type handles are notorious for cracking, splitting. That one should be good for the next hundred years. Or longer.

You were right it cleaned up very well!

A little Bar Keepers Friend should clean those darker blemishes right off the top cap.

Se my Tech cap below.

Before.

After wetting the cap, dusting with BKF and rubbing with my thumb. Another rinse and this is how it came out.
