I am thinking of buying this for $25.00 but I have been searching every wade & butcher on the internet and can not fine a single one with scales like this. I am thinking rescale? The seller is saying Tortiose scale, I am not even sure they are that, it looks more like plastic wood look. But I would like the experts opinion here.

Also, in general if you are buying old razors that have been rescaled, do you appraise them with only the value of the blade? Or do the "new" scales add any value?
