    Would we expect horn (or bone) scales for most Sheffield razors of the period?

    Horn was very common, bone somewhat. Ivory and tortoise, and mother of pearl were fancier materials. Wood was used, but very rarely.

    I got this razor with the widest stub tail I've ever seen! I couldn't find any info on the maker and I hoped maybe someone here could help with this...It says "JORIS" but i'm not sure if it's the full name or maybe some letters are missing.
    The scales are made from a very light wood and I think these are the original scales, judging by the washers.
