Yeah I am not of the opinion that it is bone, I have some camel bone here, and it is nothing like that (no pores as someone else put it).Bone has distinctive specks of dark coloration where the living tissue had veins of nerve fibre and blood vessels running through it.
Horn? - Not too sure as I don't have any horn to compare it to.
Here are some more photos (of my razor) Trying to show the pattern I see. It sort of fades out towards the middle of the scales (talking pin to pin) and is more visible at the toe end of the scales not so much at the tang / pivot end.
Sorry that the photos aren't as good as some here on the forum, unfortunately I don't have much experience with macro. But I guess I should learn now!

I'm gonna say ivory too. Been watching this thread and the last pics convinced me. The way the scales are pinned along with the wedge, the thinness, and FINALLY a good pic of the color.
NICE razor.
Here's a couple of JR's of mine.
