jhenry,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I was out of town the last few days. The scales are made of celluloid. Looks great but a little too bendable. Not very stiff. Still, nice to have in the collection for their beauty.

ThePhill,

LOL! Thanks so much for the kind words. I was a collector and straight razor aficionado before I became involved on the forum. I kick myself for not getting involved with the forum earlier. But I guess its better later than never!

Again, a real joy to be involved with such a great group of like-minded guys.
