Re-post of what I posted in acquisitions as realised after it wasn't the best place to be asking questions...
Finally got this cheap Old. Hopefully the real deal and razor in excellent but not Mint condition. On the back of the baseplate it only says Made in England. No other markings. The answer's probably no but is there any sure way to tell if it is a genuine Gillette and not a copy? I know some cheap Gillettes with plastic handles didn't have the Gillette logo either (I have one) so not necessarily that...?
I can post close-up pics of the razor later on if that helps.

I suppose it doesn't matter if it's really a Gillette Old or not as long as it shaves well, but I'd like the real thing if possible.
