    while it's been reported as brit gillette stopped silver plating razors after ww2 this late example rfb 2 piece appears to have remnants of silver plate on it.this creased inner cap design carries over to the flat bottom tech,reportedly made after 1946.the 1947 New/Tech hybrid was available with both smooth and creased design caps

    Not all of them.
    Only about 99 % of the stock that has been circulation for the last decade or so.

    I have a 1938 rhodium plated Gillette Senator and a 40’s SuperSpeed it looks like it both of those had a baby that’s what it would be the “RANGER TECH”. Very classy my friend
