'46~'49 for US made, probably same for UK, post war until 1950.I have one of them, fat handle flat bottom tech made in England it's what I use most often, great razor.
I thought they were made 48-49 with dated razors starting 1950.

Answer yes to aluminium handle and baseplate. Both very light. And yes it does stand on it's cap without falling over.Aluminum handle and baseplate? Will it stand on the cap without falling over?
Does this help identify or narrow down a dating period?Aluminum handle and baseplate? Will it stand on the cap without falling over?
It does help, and so does the "Gillette" styling on the cap and the look of the handle. I put it mid '50's.Does this help identify or narrow down a dating period?
I didn't realise that Tech's had the letter/number date codes too.
Thank you Toby.It does help, and so does the "Gillette" styling on the cap and the look of the handle. I put it mid '50's.
