I was wondering where the photo went, definitely not showing for me

Open film compartment, insert film, shoot photo, post photo, receive thanks from grateful members.

my gunsmith friend looked at it and he thinks it's not horn. must be bakelite. so looks like I go shopping for new scales. I know the phot0 not good but it's the best out of 5. thanks

This has to be one of the FUNNIEST things I have read here in a while!

Not sure but the scales resemble horn. Lovely razor. No apparent hone wear. Good purchase.......

Jerry, what is film?

That's the stuff that clouds your windshield from smoking cigars in your car.

Nice blade. But the pic doesn't show much of what your taking about as far as scales go. If your talking about that pivot end it looks chipped not bitten. If it's smooth inside that's one indication more like celluloid (film). If it looks like a broken piece of cast iron that's another, bakelite. If it's ........we need more picture :<0)

The Griffons' are all good shavers in my experience and you got a nice one!

the griffon is bakelite. I recently acquired a Sheffield that has horn and now can see the difference. thanks all.
