So in summary we have a mysterious French female razor that is beautiful, dances and is dangerous.
I hereby dub thee "la Mata Harri!" (with owners permission of course)



I would keep the original scales and just have her detailed and honed.
Unless you were to replace them with some pretty ivory.
Just my 2c worth.

Except that Mata Hari was not French was she?

Indeed she was not.
Born in Holland if I am not mistaken but was working in France in counter espionage.

Ah those Dutch - they speak English better than the English and understand far more German than they let on to Germans.

Haha I was actually thinking of ivory boni. I'm looking at a 7" piece of fossilized walrus ivory but its pricey and I don't think its thick enough (1/2").

I would have thought 1/2 inch would have been ample for a set of ivory scales.
Vintage ivory scales are probably 1/16 thick when finished.
I would also PM gssixgun and pixelfixed to see what they can offer you in this line
