Looks like an HD Rocket to me! Maybe an aluminum handle even.

Well I guess that was $40 well spent:001_smile

Absolutly...If it is, it's the one I used for Rocket month last February and it rocked....

The others in the picture make up the cost as well...

Dang, good stash for $40.

Here is the one I was thinking it was. Is this know as a rocket as well?

Wow, I think your right. I was too focused on the rocket I guess. I didn't even know about those four piece techs until I saw your post or yours.

I looked for over 4 months for mine.

To answer the 58 question, the 58 is basically an HD with sweet knurling. :biggrin: I hope that is what it is!

haha yeah, I always wonder if there are really that many of them around, or if people can't get rid of them individually, so they throw them in a lot to get the count up. :rolleyes: I got one a while back in a lot and I literally couldn't give it away. I have a couple now, I am thinking about giving one a try.

[D.Irving79]

if you have the right one, its totally worth a shot.

It definitely looks like a #58 to me. Its a little hard to distinguish the ring at the top of the handle though. Looks like you'll be getting a nice slim twist and a knack as well. Seems like I've been saying this a lot lately......nice score Scotty!!!

The lot with the SS case and what I thought was going to be a New Improved came today. The razor in the case was one of these goodwill razors. It isn't in the best of shape (gold plating loss)

It is really strange how the top is very hard to get square on the baseplate and It can move a little
