Can you help identify this Vintage Gillette?

It's a flare tip TTO and ‘made in England'. The handle knurling does not have the often seen hoops up the shaft, instead they are unhindered columns. I think it's rhodium plated as compared to another English flare I have it still looks brand new! Any help would be appreciated 54C8E833-2187-4173-B687-FCBD5E2044C6.jpeg3ADAD800-0D77-43B1-A167-50455AF509EE.jpeg2F983BF1-FD53-4453-8F61-CD0C6F7D5AC5.jpeg
 
TV Special flare tip Rocket only sold in 1958 as far as I know. It's a rarer variant of the regular flare tip Rocket, shave is the same but rhodium plated handle and unique knurling pattern make it more desirable.

I sold one last year in mint condition with case for £30, to give an idea of potential value.

Hi Rohleder, (that's) awesome thank you!I'm delighted it's a TV special. I appreciate the valuation, although I'm delighted to keep it in the collection.
