I only realized today that it is dark grey and not black as the Adjustable.
The head is marked H1. So is the grey handle a common one?

Good question. Here's a link on type L's: Schick Type L
The pics seem to be on the grayish side to me. I have one, and I'd call it black, but it's a "light" black.

I agree with Fred, a shade of black. I do have a grey Eversharp Eagle L1 which I think is rare. First on the top row left. I think my black L1s are the same shade as yours.

Based on my screen and your picture I would say mine is the exact tone as your top left one.
Tomorrow I’ll try a pic with natural light and no editing. Btw the blue and yellow one look great!
You are right, it's close! I don't think that Eversharp was made for the US market so they could be sisters!

Has the H1 marking any significance?
I don't think anyone has ever come up with anything definitive on those. Some say machine number. My Eversharp has M26 on it.
My 70s Dutch L1 has pure black handle, unlike the one in @Multum in parvo 's first post

Bad weather today so I couldn’t take a picture. But the handle is a uniform color top to bottom no sun fading or such.
I have been meaning to take more pixs of mine in natural light. Maybe tomorrow.
Here is a photo of the Eversharp Eagle next to an Eversharp L1 in the bright Hawaiian sun.

It’s now raining for full 48h. We dropped from 82 degrees to 54 in under 12 hours and tomorrow will be a rainy day as well.
Nice Schick’s gents. Glad that I tuned in.

The rain has stopped but the clouds are still grey.
My L1 has definitely an other color than my Adjustable but it is not as silvery light as yours Dave @Whiterook - pics are unedited and cropped only

Might be, this was just personal curiosity. The main thing is still how it shaves and if my face likes the Chinese Schicks or the Personnas better….
Also my next order from Connaught should include some Prolines B20/B30.

Lovely injectors. How do you like these two - or are you still waiting for blades?

Only 1 shave in with the L1 and Personna so the jury is still out.
The Adjustable with the Chinese Schick Is a super smooth cruiser even wide open.
Biggest suprise was the B2, looks a bit awkward and unwieldy but shaves really well (Chick again).
