    +1 for aluminum or pewter. Possibly even pot metal.

    It's aluminum handle. IMO.
    Another fact is interesting for me: I've seen three or four similar razors/handles during the last month on eBay.

    I've never went for the $ but in years past I've seen a number of sterling silver scaled W&B and Joseph Rodgers with hallmarks on the scales. Most had ornate figuring cast into the scales but some were smooth. The figured pieces were quite attractive to me. I imagine the balance would be heavy towards the scales when shaving.

    That looks like someone raided the silverware drawer and fashioned some scales.

    Considering the razor and the stuff in the silverware drawer were made by the same companies, I'm not surprised.
