Anyone seen scales like this before?
This was on a Wade & Butcher i picked up of the bay listed simply as a Sheffield blade. Not only its it oddly shaped,IMO, but it is about a 1/4 inch too short

That was rescaled and a questionable job too.

yeah. i knew they were not original. just never seen any that looked like that. not even open along the bottom. It was very poorly done in pretty much every aspect. I haven't removed them yet but i think they may have drilled out the pivot hole to do it too....

I'm pretty sure those are the scales from a Durham Duplex, or one of the similar demi-hemi-quasi-safety razors.

One of my 'pet peeves' back years ago, before ebay started showing thumbnails on the pages, was guys that would list a Durham Duplex (hate 'em with a passion) and say that it was "Ivory handled straight razor" 
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
