W&B scales question

[Heritage1]

Hello,

I found this W&B in the wild yesterday, at first I thought the scales were horn, but once I got home and cleaned them up, I realized they are leather. I'm assuming the original scales have been replaced along the way but am curious if anyone has seen original leather scales on a W&B.

I have seen one razor on the net that was a W&B with what looked like new leather scales. From the pins in your scale, I'm leaning towards believing these being original or at least very old scales.

Thanks Dan.

Look original to me - I have three razors in my collection what have exactly that type of leather scales.
No experience of W & B directly -
But I have 2 Sheffields (a Jonathan Pitchford and a Slack and Grinold) and a Swede (F.W. Soderen)
The Sheffield razors are probably 1860-1880s - not sure about the Swede
