Joseph Rodgers & Sons The Royal Razor
Just got this razor in today.

I think the scales are ivory but don't really know so I need some help there. They are wafer thin. The seller said there were no cracks in the scales but you guessed it, there was one. Is there anyway to keep it from getting worse, CA?

I am trying to narrow a date down for this razor. My thought is that it is 1850s to 1891 by the stamping and shape of the scales. I would appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable could tell me if I am in the ballpark with the dating or better yet narrow it down some more. Thanks.
