Nice catch. The Fling Wing was introduced in 1947, my birth year. Congratulations on a fine razor.

Sorry I have not been posting much lately. I have not been finding many good deals locally on razors and especially SE razors so I got a wild hair yesterday after work and decided to take a 1 and half hr. ride to eastern side of VT were there are a bunch of huge antique malls I messed up on my timing and got there 30 mins before closing time. The first mall had a couple of highfalutin unmentionable's but the second was SE glory. There were 6 big glass display cases scatted around and 3 were nothing but SE . Every model of micromatic,1912 From Damaskeene ( No open comb
 ) to treet. Eveready's galore , 1914s,multiple 1924's. There were multiple Schick injectors as well lots of G's E's H's 3 L'S one M. I only had 15 mins so I missed a lot in one of the last cases I looked at I saw a leather cover in the corner blocking something when he pulled it out It was a Schick B1 at a heck of low price. In the last case I also found a better example of a early 1914 than what had a very good price. I plain just ran out of time as they were closing. he said there were more in other areas .Both razors cleaned up nice the type B was pain to get a blade loaded. I am going back tomorrow morning as I have Thursday off. There are also 3 other big shops I missed I found on the map so I will check them and ill make a tost exclusive video on the mentionables .
