The blade wasn't sold as NOS but the packaging and sharpness of the blade suggest it is.
It feels shave ready to my thumb pad and whisks away hair on my arm with ease.
Tomorrow morning I'll test it out.

At least ignorance is comedy, if not bliss.
OK, here are the pieces I had got together for the two wb safety razors.
1. Open comb from another old razor.
2. WB blade.
3. Good WB top cap.
4. Rough WB top cap.
5. Good WB bottom plate.
6. WB handle.
7. What came with rough WB cap.

I don't know where #7 came from but I got it with the rough cap, that did not come with the bottom plate.
You can see here the rust from the WB blade on #3, the blade is not stainless steel.
If you use one you definitely have to take it apart after each shave and dry and oil it.
Also, #4 has already been modified for regular blades, something I didn't even notice at first.

Here are #4,5,6 assembled with a Wilkinson blade. Note the bend in the cap.

I took a chance and tried it out. It shaved well and was still less aggressive with its bend than my R41:roflmao
Once straightened I think it will be a nice shaver.
