Bought a razor, any idea on what it is?
So I lucked out and found 2 nice razors today, one is an Arthur Allan "Magnetic" razor and the one i am having difficulty ID'ing is this one:

On the tang you can see A & N.C.S.L, which i understand to be the Army & Navy Cooperative Stores Limited, not the maker's mark. The original box is very difficult to read and I can't get a picture to show the markings. What i can read says "F Stuart Apps, Cutler, 5 Sandgate RD, Folkestone (it could be Polkestone, tough to read...)

In the middle of the spine, there is "Thursday" engraved, very neatly. Too neat and fine to have been done by someone at home without some major know-how and some very nice tools, which makes me think that it was done at the factory. Could this have been part of a set with a razor for every day of the week?
Tomorrow I'll be polishing up the blade with sandpaper to get rid of the rust spots, 400 to 3000 grit, and I'll post up the results.
Thanks in advance for the help.
