    That is a museum quality piece. Excellent pinned tortoise work, very unusual to see tortoise panelled. I would give a lot for a razor like that.

    When I see a razor like this I forget all the 'let's see your shave den' and 'tape or no tape' discussions and I am so glad that this site exists....This must be considered treasure. Congratulations on your discovery.

    One a question, this type of scales are done in the same place and for the same workers that made the blade ?,

    This is not generally known, but as Neil Miller said in the past, much of intricate work such as those silver pins was done by girls as their hands could do the fine and tedious tasks.
