SO..is this a Gillette Double Ring (DR)?

Nice find.

 

Naaaah....seems unlikely.... I think the MUCH more likely scenario is that it's a spy gadget.

 

Is there a serial number on either knob?

 

Not that I can see. Nothing on the head and nothing on the inner tube(s). All I can see is the "PAT APPLD FOR" mark.

 

I'll post a picture later of the knurling on mine for comparison.

 

I've traded emails with Achim "Mr-Razor" in the past and just sent him a link to this thread. Will be interesting to hear his take on it.

 

Silver method? Please explain.

 

Here is the explanation.

If we have any firearm knowledgeable here - could the button-end on that handle be a bullet casing stuck at the end of it? Would have to be a rather tiny caliber though...

 

Thanks. I may go try this right now.

 

The article doesn't recomend how long to soak the razor. Suggestions?

 

Get me a clear picture. Are there any letters or numbers on the plug around the "button"?

 

I'll try to take a macro photo tonight

 

It's not a bullet casing. The button you keep pushing to make my garage door go up and down would correspond to the primer in a bullet, and would be firmly seated, not spring loaded as that one seems to be.

 

Thanks that's really interesting.
There is a difference on the knurling on the bottom part of the tube handle and the main handle just like on mine.

 

Ah so it IS a super secret agent device then. Thanks for confirming!

Btw, just opened your garage door again

 

I missed the spring loaded part. That means it's a blasting cap. I still need to see the numbers to determine the detonation sequence. It could be as little as 12 pushes.. Be careful.

 

Oh yeah?
10....11..12.................
