You might wait til after the mineral oil.
As the razor was originally pinned the pin was swollen into the pinholes in the scales.
as the scales may have dried and shrunk, the pins swollen girth has become super-tight against the ivory.

Some of these old razors have been re-tightened as they were younger.
Some have pins bent in the middle! Brass/silver is very hard/annealed.

risky bidness!

I hesitate to tap on them anymore if things are old. Just me.
