    From my checking around a while back the G in the D stands for Damaged Goods or Damaged Gillette depending on how you interpret it. Some say if a razor was sent into Gillette for repair that it was stamped with a G inside of a D.

    Another idea is that it was an American made razor meant for sale in Europe and the stamp indicated that.

    No problem, I didn't exactly nail it down but there is no real answer to it. Just all those possibilities.
