Thread: ivory(bone) ID

Gentlemen,

I'm having this problem that you may be able to help with. I have this swedish razor with ivory (perhaps, though a bit unlikely bone) scales that I don't know what kind of animal produced them. The lines certainly don't look like the elephant ivory I've seen - they are quite a bit more irregular. It's hard to take decent pictures of such soft colors with a simple p&s camera, but here they are.
I don't think any better resolution would add anything.
And yes, it's really pretty - I love it with all the interesting patterns and patina.
