I have to be honest and say I am not sure of the difference as it was pointed out as a peerless by a knowledgeable member on another forum, he stated it was the handle that made it a peerless.
I will try to find the thread with the reasoning.
I stand to be corrected any time.

Update:
I bought 2 NOS ER 1912's and somehow put the wrong razor in the wrong packaging, the other is a Bathroom set. I ID'd this one as the bathroom in a SOTD and was corrected, I then checked the sale photos which bore out the reasoning, I believe these are Brit Peerless handles.
Again I am open to any help on putting this right.

I have one also.
So as far as you know the head is the same as any othe Made in England 1912?
That is what i have been led to believe.
I checked out TOST2 and it seems this is the case.
There is quite a few photos and some good info on there.
Maybe I'll have to do a little searching over there. I think it's one of the best looking handles frim the ASR family. That and the Gem Junior Elite handle. I saw an antique mechanical pencil with a similar pattern to the Peerless for sale on the Bay a while back. Boy was it stunning. And the it's beauty was reflected in its price.
