I recently acquired a new razor for my collection. It was made by East St. Louis cutlery and has very unique scales. Actually the scale is one piece. I've not seen one piece scales before and my question is, was this common at all? The wedge and both sides are all one piece and it has a pivot pin. Any insight anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.
My other question is about aluminum scales. I know they made them but was it common? I have an H. Boker with very light metal scales that I assume is aluminum.
