In the case of Simmons I have seen the same model no. listed with two different sizes in an old catalog. Specifically, the No. 421 was listed as S421 1/2S and S421 5/8S.

Just a thought........
Attachment 206695this is what I'm buying
The blades look similar. Just an observation, but the brown scales look like they are not original.
May be a difference in grind. Full hollow versus half follow, or extra hollow.
Don't know but my 321 is a great razor. I have several Simmons razors and all are excellent in my opinion.
With stuff like that it usually boils down to guess work as you have been getting. That is helpful but far from concrete. Believe it or not there is not a lot of proven detailed information on most SRs as they were a mass produced item, not even serial numbered. Sometimes things just are.

Thanks BobH

I would guess the scales are not original myself .... Not that I care .... The scales are wood and in good repair so good enough for me
