I think this is the alu version though as blk knight has not given us weight can't be sure

I don't think it's the alu version because is does not exist in this color.
Only gold anodised I think.

It's the same razor as the parat (which I also have).

It is the case which differs - looks similar to a HD case - but a HD won't fit.

Look at "Gillette" on the lid of the case. There is something wrong with it:huh:

 

[BlkKnight]

wrong in what way?

Oh, the advert.

I guess it was in the days prior to photoshop

It's written upside down.

It's also the same as one version of the Arstocrat Jr.

I'm assuming this one has the diamond recess in the baseplate? (Or is it solid?)

Also, does it say "Made In England"? If not it's a German parat.

Great shavers, better than the HD imho

 

[BlkKnight]

Yes, diamond recessed with Made in England
