This is a late 40's Aristocrat. It has notches and end caps. Most say this is a little milder shaver than the older Aristocrats. I have the earlier, no notches, version, and another cased one like this, and I think there is a slight difference in the shave.
This one has wear to the safety bars, most of the gold is gone from both. Overall the razor is pretty good. There are some areas where the lacquer is gone, but most of the gold color is still there. Shows wear to the bottom end of the TTO. A couple of tiny pits at the very top of the knurling. You see them as green in the pics. The white you see under the head is soap residue that I missed in clean up. A great every day shaver.
