I'm currently waiting for this to arrive. A fancy French ivory scales with silver ornament at the bottom. Pretty sad that the blade is broken at the pivot

Thanked: 3164Sad about the break - however, as it is french and of that period it would not have had a tail anyway - the blade did not extend past the scales when closed, so it looks like a candidate for rounding it off, drilling a new pivot hole and re-pinning. Could even cut the scales down a bit - possibly - if the blade closes too far away from the wedge end.
Lovely razor, anyway.
Regards,
Neil

Thank you Neil for the good advice, I was thinking the same thing but I will probably be too nervous to try and re-shaping the scales since its ivory and IMO I consider it as a very fragile material that can be damaged very easily.
I've posted this one before, do you think it can be a proper candidate as a replacement for the blade? It's also French but not sure if matches the era.
I've played a little bit with the photoshop to see how approximately it should be look like -
