If those scales were in fact, "Silver" wouldn't they show some tarnish, look at the blade.....? Beautiful work though....

Understood, and no offense taken. I was actually referring to what the current price may be for a simular set of scales as in the OP.
You quoted current spot price, so I was bringing the whole process into current pricing.
The scales in the origional post are unique enough that I seriously doubt they were made by the hundreds. It was probably a one off or small set of castings. Either way you are still dealing with hand work, not a mass production. If a set of scales where to be mass produced in that time period, then they would have been more than likely made of a tin alloy.
Thanks all
Well the scales are repousse.
Think I will go for them...They do look great.
Was silver razors more expensive than ivory to? Back in the good old days?
