I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like an early Ball end tech, which are a superb shaver. Something of interest. https://mr-razor.com/Rasierer/Tech/Tech.htm
Hope this helps.

Hi! Strictly, this razor did not come in that case, but no reason not to enjoy it exactly as it is. Pop a pack of your favourite blades into the blade enclosure and shave on ...
The razor itself is from the 1950s (case from the 1940s) and a sound design. Every shaver has their favourite Tech and this is a popular one!

What Paul said, 
It's a nice '50's ball end Tech, and even though the handle is heavier than the "heavy handle", it's not "the" heavy handle Tech. (confusion is the norm)
Personally, I don't give a shite about sets, I'm a shaver not a collector'
This is a so-called "Heavy Handle Tech", or what I call the fat handle, and no, that's not copper, it's red brass.

It looks like an aluminium ball end Tech to my eyes.

On second thought, looking at the picture again it looks like the all brass one. Sorry, my mistake. I was looking at the picture on my phone and was in a bit of rush.
It looks in good condition though. Show a picture of it when you have in your hands.
