Australian "Doover Deluxe" Gold Plated OC, 1946

[TobyC]

I know most Empire Razors have "British Made", no branding at all, or "Reg. Design 20546" on them. However, I could swear that I've seen online an Empire Razor marked "Made in Australia"...

Were there ever any Australian made DE razors?

Just wondering if anyone knows if there were ever any Australian made DE razors back in the day.

That's because I'm profoundly deaf, doesn't mean I'm mentally tarred.

Hey snowbeard,
I couldn’t figure out how to pm you. But wondering if you’re still chasing a doover deluxe ?
my wife found one an purchased for me, but would rather sell it onto someone who would really appreciate it.
Vintage stuff doesn’t really interest me that much and I’m happy with my yaqi safety razor. Can send more photos etc if you’re interested.

Lovely looking razor.

Have actually had a bit of interest in the razor, and can’t figure out how to send photos via pm , so here are more up close photos.
Trying to to show all the wear and tear on it:
-leather strap on the case is cracked and worn (otherwise case is in great condition considering the age)
-razor head has tarnishing underneath which I’ve highlighted in photos
Other than that some very slight scuff marks that would likely disappear with a clean/polish
