I've seen plenty with bug bites, cracked at pivot or wedge, but very few warped horn scales on vintage blades. Not saying there haven't been some with a slight warp, but I'm talking about to the point where it interfered with closing the razor. I've not seen that on a vintage (100 + years old) razor.
