Your help needed! Highest New Improved serial numbers from Gillette's non-US plants

[mr-razor]

My british Lady Decolletee Coral set looks NOS. It comes with "2264" blades, that will date it to 1928. The serial number is 195 755 Y:

Check your serial numbers folks and give Porter a hand. Non-U.S. New Improved Gillettes. They will end in V,W,Y or Z.

Yes, Porter is doing a labor of love. He is doing it to help us ID and date razors. So come on and contribute, stop being lazy.

I just picked up an English-made Gillette New Improved in a Richwood case. The serial number is:
083956Y
Sounds like it is somewhere in the middle of the "Y" serial numbers. The lid of the Richwood case was installed with the writing upside down (not the first time we have seen this mistake).
I can post pictures if anyone is interested ...

Bringing this back from the dead, and adding my two Canadian New Improved razor's, both of them with tuckaway style handles.
The silver plated ser# is 13806 Z and the Gold plated ser# is 66764 Z. Not very high up in the ser # dept, but adds anyway.

I just picked up a bottom tray and handle of a Big Fellow Gold. It has a serial number of what I thought was 1189. The bottom plate has the Gillette Diamond logo only, and the barrell has Patended 1920. Upon further inspection and some polishing the correct serial number is
"1189 Z". It looks like it is a very early Canadian. Photos to follow.
