Scale identification ?
What material are these scales made from?
One piece mother of pearl?

Looks as one-piece MOP, Randy. Nice and rare!

Could be mother of toilet seat. AKA pearloid. Those actually look real though.

You could always do the old pearl test and rub them against your front teeth.

It looks like MOP, much in same fashion as MOP Kindal.
Beautiful is important, but when all is said and done, you will always be faithful to a good shaver while a bad one may detter you from ever trying again. Judge with your skin, not your eyes.

Besides the old rubbing them against your teeth, they should be iridescent. The real MOP scales I have are also thicker than normal. Regardless, what a great looking pair of razors.
