Thread: A Waterville & Reynold's

A lovely pair, Mike. Congratulations.

Beautiful Mike, I've seen a good few of the FR rattlers and yours is the best condition. I thought the scales were dyed horn to replicate tortoise shell.

Gorgeous Fredrick Reynolds.
Scales , blade , all of it.

Well I thought they were dyed horn too. But they feel different than horn, aren't smooth like horn, and the colors are at different levels within the scales





But I've also never held or seen real tortoise, but I have seen the the dyed horn. If this is faux, its the best I've ever seen. So it's kind of a stab in the dark for me, if these are truly authentic tortoise.

TBH I've only seen tortoise shell on the net and they had
greater depths of colours, but the pattern in yours do seem ingrained. Either way they look amazing.
