Welcome to the forum. The razor appears to be in nice condition.
I have one of those stamped No2 also and it shaves well. I am not an expert and don't see why anyone would make the effort to fake a George Butler Shakespeare razor so my bet is that it is a real one. From the looks of the pinning at the pivot the razor may have been taken apart for cleaning and/or rescaled as the pin used appears to be a modern "nail head" type pin. If that is the case it is not a big deal in any event.
Hone her up and enjoy the shave.

Grazor jogged my memory about using the search boa in the upper right corner of the page. This is just one of many threads on George Butler razors you will find here. From it you will clearly see all the stamps and markings.

Still waiting on any evidence of an actual fake razor...
