It is a No. 58 - v. nice razor, made in the 50's
In very nice shape to, worth some cash.
More than 30 €? :D
Yes. The No. 58 has gained in value as the other British Gillettes such as the No. 66 have gone up in value and gotten harder to obtain. Yours is in a correct box in good shape, and isn't missing any plating. On eBay would generally go for around $65 - $100 US.
Like all the British Gillettes, they are good shavers, too.
If I am not mistaken the 58 is essentially the same as a heavy duty double ring rocket with a different knurling on the handle. Both being one of the best models Gillette turned out.
Well, let's see how this goes. hopefully I can get it cheap! :)
I saw one of these go for 125 USD over at SMF... :D
Good luck, but most DE wet shavers know that the #58 is a desirable razor. I sold mine on ebay in a fit of stupid some time back for $125. They are superb shavers and very attractive. I also sold a excellent gold 66 (the buyer put in his display case) and a pristine Coronation 66 that later changed hands for $500 :cry:. May as well sell the rest of the DEs now for all the use they receive.
Here are some pics of my #58 that my wife found at a flea market last summer - purchase price including the $1 admissio to the flea market ---> $6.00 :D:
