Picked this beauty up. Oldest razor I have for sure. This is how she came right out of the box. Scales are bone or ivory?

Scales are bone, I'd say - they seem to have a few pores in them, which AFAIK ivory doesn't have. Nor do they appear to have the grain lines that ivory has. Nice razor though, love those big old wedges. If only I could afford one!
It's a beaut!
That'd be a great fixer upper Ichinichi! Congrats on the acquisition
they look great i think it is a bone handle and wedge blade . they shave great. Can you find out who made them? i got one and seller said it is maid Le grelat. I am not sure about it
Given it's age my guess is that the cutler's stamp is on the tang. So the maker is one FG Paris.Quote:
