I have since then picked up an English Goodwill made for the French market. It is one of my favorites.
new to me 3 piece new deluxe. 15mm baseplate. i had a nice clean new lc with a trashed baseplate(bent teeth) so it donated the cap and handle for temporary. want to send this out for rhodium plating with it's original handle . only slight differences between the handles ..caps are the same..will shave fine this way indefinitely..
can any one tell,if all deluxe heads were plated or were some just straight brass? would love to know.the head on mine was dull with no signs of worn away plating..
None that I know of were ever straight brass. The ones found that are now straight brass were most likely plated with a Gold wash which comes off significantly easier than the Nickel or Chromium.
that makes sense..there isn't any gold left anywhere on my baseplate. someone could have polished off in the past ..
