Looks great, though... Any idea how old it is?

Why do you think it's Dutch? (just out of curiosity)
Here is a picture, how I bought the razor:

The handle was from plywood and pined with old netherlandian coins. The date of the coins were 1950/51. So I guess the age and provenance.
Haha, pinned with coins. Funny.
Were they Guilders back then Alex?
Nice scales a very difficult wood to work with. :tu
I love the shape of that blade and your scales look great on it.
