Please help identify this vintage Gillette razor

[Shad]

Hello all,
I've got my eye on the razor you see in the pics. All it says in the add is "vintage Gillette razor".
I cannot see any info on the razor itself due to picture quality, but the handle strongly resembles that of a Merkur 1904.
Could this be a Frankenstein product or did Gillette actually make this handle at some point?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It looks like a post war tech head on a non Gillette handle. I could be very wrong as I am no expert.

Looks like a Frankenrazor to me. 1960's Gillette head with a mismatched handle. Does look like a Merkur handle.

Thanks so far. You have confirmed my suspicion.

I can't tell by your pics if thats a British Tech handle or not.

Bigfoot, thanks. That's a round handle by the looks of it,. not a so called hexagonal one as in my pics. The bottom bolt or knob also seems different?

Definitely a Frankenrazor.

Post-war Tech. Handle is likely the Merkur 1904.

Of course that handle is not a Gillette. The head with that type of logo has been made from 1961 to 1965 for sure. Look at the bottom plate. If there is a letter and number code, it might even be a German one.
P.S. Sorry, but just noticed another thing. That bottom plate doesn't belong to the top plate. So all 3 parts are different.

Oh wow, thanks! Definitely passing on this one then!
