    Difficult to say something special about this model. As I know this model was manufactured many years.

    I almost bought one of those. Was in pitiful condition, though.

    I can say only, that according to the stamp on the tang, the razor was made after 1891(Madrid Trade Accords).

    I can tell you that they are good shavers; I have owned two. They also bring pretty good prices on eBay, if in good condition. All I know. You have gotten a nice razor, with some uneven hone wear which could be corrected by expert honing. It will clean up nicely.
