Thanks sorry my mistake got little confused in myself.

Do we think this one could be legitimate with the code then?

It should be said, although it's an Old Type clone and not an original, it could well be a good razor, maybe better than an original, and certainly better than an original in bad shape. The problem is if it was passed off as an original. Things like that bum me out.

Update on my first shave with the razor. I shaved with the Foreign as I've decided to name it. Wow as you mentioned could be a good razor. Well I had a lovely shave with the razor I used a Laser super platinum blade. I had a lovely shave no cuts very close clean shave. My first pass I was nearly fully smoothly shaved. Thank you for your vote of confidence in this razor very pleased.
