OMG those carved ivory scales are the bomb!
Thank you. Are they ivory? They are thinQuote:

Very true.
They aren't bone........that's for sure!!!! I can't tell if they are ivory unless if I was looking at it closer. I would be looking for the grain!Quote:

Yes it was on the bay.
I thought I saw it on there!
I think I have EVD.
eBay viewing disorder....................
Can you see any grain to the scales up close?
I know I have EVD. I checked. No grain.
Hmmmmmm, they still might be ivory. I have a razor with thin scales & they are polished smooth but I could barely see some grain in them. The pins look like they have collars & most ivory is collarless but if they aren't ivory, I don't know what they could be. I have a small straight that has carved scales like that also. The blade is 2 3/4" on it. I need to clean it up. I've had it a long time. It has a Pegasus on it. I like it because it is small!Quote:

Scales look bone for sure. Fairly common to see carved, inlayed, even pique pin work on bone scales under the first tier of razors.
Agreed. I think bone as well. Very nice!
Thanks Tom, hope to see you at your next meet!Quote:

It's gorgeous old razor and I'm glad it has a nice new home.
I can't tell from the pics if it is bone or ivory, I'm thinking bone. Both are usually very thin. Some good close up pictures will tell the tale. Either way, it's an awesome old survivor.
