It looks to me like the earlier model 1912's had the curved top. Are all the curved caped 1912's Damaskeenes, or just the the ones marked with Damaskeene on the inside of the head?
My thought is that only the one with the marking are. They were named after the blades right?

I believe there were curved cap 1912's that were not stamped as Damaskeene's, at least early ones after they stopped using the Damaskeene name in 1921. Damaskeene was a GEM trademark for their blades but they advertised the razors also as Damaskeene razors.

The OC Dammy has a greater curve to the cap than the closed comb Dammy's I own. I have 2 closed comb Dammy's, one is a GEM Cutlery and the other is a GEM Safety Razor Corp. Both have a slightly curved cap with the bevel at the bottom edge which the OC Dammy doesn't have. I do believe there are closed comb Dammy's that did have the more curved cap like the OC. A lot of varients during the Damaskeene period I understand.

Do all Dammy's have a curved top? I have a Dammy, but I don't see any difference in the cap when compared to my regular 1912. Could someone have swapped the top?

I had several great shaving, very curved top Dammys...Then my last acquired Dammy, had the full inscription and original leather covered wooden box, but had the flat beveled top. Funny thing is...that one was the best shaver of the group...go figure!
Each one ended up being gifted to a friend or friend/student wishing to enter the TWS dimension. I'm actually kinda shocked to be Dammyless, 😳, ha ha...But thats better than, to be scared Schickless!! 🤣😂😅

It took me a long time to get my first Dammy, and now I am up to 4. I will be shaving this week with a Dammy and a Damaskeene blade, too.
