Here it is in an article, albeit an obviously larger model.
I have the later regular-old Heinisch and Son one at the bottom as well. Small pic!

Ever seen a No.45 8/8 J.A.Henckels Smiling extra hollow?
Had one at the begining of my journey and sold it ...cheap...

I believe you are correct! That is the closest thing to mine I've seen so far. Thanks for posting yours.

Man, a Lewis is at the top of my wish list. I've never owned (or held) a custom, but I certainly would like to have one of his to shave with!

Two more strange one's, never seen another of each, one from Elliot,"Damascus Razor":

...and one from Rodgers, "India Steel" frameback with a big belly, actually makes a great place to hold the razor between thumb and finger:

I saw one on eBay a couple of years ago and would have bought it for whatever the price ended. But I was at a party and forgot to bid... still haunts me!

Found this in a London England flea market in 1972 for 1 pound. I think it’s rare since I haven’t been able to find any info on it in all that time.

I believe the scales are bone.
