Can't tell about the ones pictured, but I have a Wostenholm razor with horn scales (bug bites and all) that were fabricated with a "built in" spacer on each scale. Also, I have a Thomas Turner's "Eberlasting" with horn scales with the same feature.

If you have access to them, rubbing them a little bit should evoke the odor of burned hair if they're horn.
