Yeah, mate the info I could find on it seems to contradict each other
Some say fourth generation aristocrat 1955 or
Aristocrat Junior.
Or simply Gillette #58 British.
I’m not sure if I’m too keen on the aluminium handle version it says it weighs only 29 g that sounds a little bit light in the hand to me.
This one I have doesn’t have the two notches next to the handle on the base plate like the British regular rocket has.
Online info just seems to say depends on what factory they were made in with or without notches again I’m not sure.
Cheers.

Early ones were from the Coronation sets and had aluminum handles..1954 sets (Australian market) were called Aristocrat Jr and didn't have markings.Later sets with markings and were just called #58's.There were a couple of Australian magazine articles from 1954 that named them as Aristocrat Jr.'s ..I have a 1954 Australian market set.
