I bought this razor a couple of months ago, I've always thought of them as ivory, but had a couple of doubts every so often so I want to clarify them. The razor is a 1920's Paul Waldmin (Solingen) silver steel.
The razor has a slightly yellowish patina to them, visible growth rings, and feels incredibly smooth. There are also visible saw marks on the inside of the scales. I've attached some pictures to show the grain.
In this one, I shone a torch on it to show the grain/ colour more clearly
Looking at the photos so far, I would be fairly sure they're ivory, despite being pinned with brass washers, but the doubts start coming in when I look at the end where the pivot is.
Those small black spots look a lot like pores found in bone, but I'm not sure if it's just dirt.
Any input is appreciated.
