Thank you. Are they ivory? They are thin

It is a little hard to tell from those pictures but that is what it looks like to me. Bone has pique marks that look like little lines and dots.

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!
Fantastic score!!!!!! If that was on the bay, I saw it.

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!
