Could be. For $399 you can test it

For 399$ they could give some more and better pics, as far as I can tell its antiqued celluloid the blade looked shot, it can stay where its at as far as I am concerned.

I believe the scales are likely to be ivory . Weather or not they are worth $400 is a matter of opinion .

picture 9 seems to show some curved grain pattern that reminds me of ivory

This particular seller either has a terrible camera, or is using photo editing software to adjust contrast, saturation, or both. All of his listings over the past few months are similar..almost all overpriced and poor condition razors with these modified pictures. It seems shady.
I don't like the pictures this seller takes, and personally I would never make any conclusions based on them, and most notably, I would likely never purchase anything from this seller, regardless if I felt it was a good deal or not!

Terrible photos indeed. But, I agree with hoggie, the patterning does look like Ivory. Revitts are really old razors, and I've never seen fancy celluloid like that. Definitely not bone.

I cant say whether or not they are ivory but they appear to be artificially aged...I could be wrong.

it is most likely ivory. there is crack in pivot area if you pay a little more attention you will see. As usually ivory cracks easily
