Very pleased to have found this W. J. Myatt Aluminium Safety Razor. Has the crows foot/broad arrow marking so was WWII issue.
In good condition considering the age, I look forward to trying it out. 1944; I bet it could tell some stories!

The last part is not 42 but the crows foot/broad arrow.
The Admiralty Arrow, or Broad Arrow was used to identify material belonging to the British Crown. The Broad Arrow was also referred to as 'crows feet'. The mark was used on all manner of government property.

One of my favorite pub restaurants in Freeport is the Broad Arrow Tavern. Was a time, 300 years ago, that many tall pines were marked with the Admiralty Arrow and it was a punishable offence to cut down the Crown's property!
The broad arrow, designating property claimed for the King of England, is barely visible on a section of king pine on display at a logging museum in Ashland; only the outer two marks of the three-slash symbol remain, and point to the right. COURTESY BERNIE HOWES
