I've just picked up a Record 05SS from the same place I bought the old-style 05½. From the look of it, the age, the same sorts of dirt and paint spatters, I think they came from the same workshop.
It felt weirdly nice to reunite them...
(If you think I'm getting too attached to my tools you'll tell me, won't you?)
Edit - and it's a keeper. It takes 2 thou shavings as it came from the shelf, not even cleaned let alone honed. Feels like a completely different beast from my 1950s 05SS.
