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.

Okay, here's the promised pic, took a while with all my post-processing...

Nice work Stuggi, that's just beautiful.

To me, the British Gillettes of the 1950s and American Gillettes of the 1920s are the pinnacle of DEs, almost artwork.
