English Gillette?

[Blackie]

Guys, what do I have here?
Made in England.
Looks like a NEW LC, but cap seems 'wrong'...there's only 2 wee tabs that lock into the baseplate.
Handle seems wrong also.
Is this just a mix up of various parts? A Tech with 'teeth'? An RFB?
I'll probably buy it just to get the baseplate though.

They made a lot of sets around the 1930s and '40s with similar combinations of head and handle -

Thanks @Mark1966 so it's just a NEW LC, made in England. Has biased pins on the cap, and handle is correct (and hollow).
I'll probably buy it anyway.
If I don't like it I'll bung it on the BST for any NEW LC lovers out there.

I reckon it will be a nice shave. Offset pins are a bit unusual
Found another example on B&B

I have decided not to buy it!
The seller has added some photos, and the cap is a tad rough, so I would only have a handle and the baseplate (which is a NEW LC...and I altready have that 7-o-Clock LC base anyway).
So, if any of you want it...
