Suffolk Super Punch Professional Blade advice please!!

Enter a word or two to search the forum section and click the Search Forum button.

Can anyone tell me exactly which type of bottom blade should go on my Suffolk Super Punch Professional please? It has a 17" cut, one piece front steel roller, 10 blade cylinder. I am aware that 2 different blades are available. One is relatively flat and one has a turned up lip. I have seen an original advert for the SSP Professional which describes the mower as having a 'special bottom blade,

 

look forward to your thoughts and thanks!!

thanks for the info. Other than its physical difference, how does the special flat blade differ from the standard one with the lip? Does it give a finer finish?

Cuts closer to the ground. The quality of the finish (cuts per inch) is achieved by a combination of the number of blades in the cylinder and the gearing of the drive to the land roll.

Should add that the pro blade has countersunk screws to present a smooth profile to the ground rather than the pan head ones on the standard blade.
