#58, the German variant with II on the back, for £23
Found it on the Italian eBay site as a Buy It Now. Crap photos and plenty of crud, but no obvious trace of brassing or copper oxide. Seller also didn't take PayPal or speak English, so Google Translate and Western Union came to the rescue.
A 6 hour soak in hot soapy water, followed by Mr Muscle bathroom spray and Peek polish resulted in me being very happy tonight. Mechanics are perfect and I would rate the finish as being near mint. No brassing at all and just light superficial usage marks.
The case is missing its insert (these have a habit of falling apart I believe), but I will put in some red velvet over foam to make it at least presentable. The NOS English made Wilkies and Gillette blades make up for it though
And a little something to use with it...
