I thought is was likely a repair. It’s hard to get a good answer from antiques people. I have had too many try to sell me bone or celluloid as ivory. They say with that lock “I know, I’ve been doing this for a long time.” Me quietly thinking and you’ve been doing it wrong, I’ve been doing it for a very long time too.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

One thing for sure, when you do see vintage scales that you know are actually ivory you definition of thin scales will change, mine did.

I need to get out more, so I might actually see some vintage ivory scales! I wouldn't mind my definition of "thin scales" changing at all.

So, if I wanted to buy a straight razor with real ivory scales, that would be illegal? I'm still confused....

That would be a question for a lawyer. I doubt anyone here would want to tell you an answer one way or the other. Yes, it is a bit confusing.

My ivory scale examples are quite thin and always pinned w/o collar
