The scales are most likely dyed buffalo horn, and the blade looks to be reground. If so, and it was reground well, it will shave just fine!Quote:

a true wedge pipe with same scales is located in the library:
Wostenholm, George & Son "Pipe" 5/8 3 - Straight Razor Place Wiki
Maybe the same scales were used on diferent models?

Don't forget the companies made thousands of razors during many years.
Everything is changing.:)
Wostenholm. Love them! The smaller ones are ok, but the bigger, the better IMHO! :)
Add me to the membership list. 11/16, square point with a new tux (aka black horn scales lined with white G10 and black wedge) by Brian Cass (diyguy).
