Gents,
Out of the several 51's I have, this is one of the better ones. It's middle of the road in aggression. Some are milder than others depending on how the teeth are "bent down" away from the blade. All teeth are straight.
Overall, is say the razor is a 9/10 with all plating intact. Handle is silver plated and the head is nickel. It does have the typical stress crack in the handle, but it's tight.
The case is a 6/10 and shows it's age, but it snaps closed tight. Only 1 blade safe, it's marked Leresche and has some corrosion. With a little work, the case could be cleaned up nicely.
I'll throw in some vintage NOS blades, they are of the 3-hole variety. I don't know how to date these razors, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's from before the war.

This is a nice example of a classic French brand, you won't regret picking this up.
