It is Rhodium plated and in a lovely condition and very smooth opeing action, one can see how the British made razors got their reputation! The case is in good condition with a bit of damage on two corners (outside) and two inky blotches on the top lid lining. This package comes with a new-old-stock blade holder to complete the set, the blade holder looks like new, and has the 5 original, unused blades in the load box.
A very nice set for any discerning collector or user.
