Thanked: 8Scales identification
Hi
I recently acquired an old well worn Joseph Rodgers razor which I intend to renovate, and would appreciate some help from the Forum experts !
The scales appear to be made of a natural material and have a grain to them ! Is there a definitive method of telling if the material is bone or ivory ?
I am posting two photos of the scales of which one shows the actual creamy colour, and the other close up under a strong light, to show the grain structure but came out very white !
There appears to be only pins holding the scales together but no washers - is this normal for natural material ?
Many thanks
