    if the lather holes (4) in the baseplate are triangular in shape its a 38-45 prewar..similar to the canadian one you are waiting for,although the canadian one has more blade gap so some say,never measured them myself..if the holes are parallel/rounded ends its a post war.from the side it looks like a pre war.the post war clamps the blade differently and is more curved on the baseplate..
    edit ,with a closer look your razor is a 38-45 prewar..

    I guess it's a pre-war.. But it is an excellent shaver. :)

    I am going back to three piece razors for the time being. I change razors just about everyday as it is and with three new / vintage / old razors I've recently acquired, I'll have five three piece razors to choose from. ;) The same with shave soaps and creams. Recently I've been using both soap and cream with each shave. I have plenty of each. :)
