Hi folks,
I took a stab at an eBay offering that had ivory colored scales, no washers, and seemed to be dated appropriately (by the seller). I received the razor today and applied the hot pin test...heated a pin to glowing red and touched it to the inside of the scales. It smelled like burning hair. The scales are the thinnest I've ever seen, and are somewhat warped. Does the burning hair scent absolutely mean ivory? Pics attached.

The blade itself had a mirror finish and doesn't appear to be dremeled to bits to make it appear to be clean; there's a small amount of black at the pin but the stamp is so thin, it doesn't show any drag from a buffing wheel.
Thoughts?
