I don't see anyone actually selling the La Legende. This may be an older model that was discontinued. I think that you need to find a photo of the back of the tang to know more or ask the seller what it says or for a photo.

May I ask where one would buy such scales

The Knife Centre, eBay, a few other razor site that I forget. They aren't hard to find but are expensive.
I have no idea what the best TIs are. I hadn't tried a TI so I ordered — with some trepidation — a Bijou de France, mainly because I seem to like thumbnotch blades. I was pretty pleased with it. The bevel was even and it was shave-ready enough for me (from Griffith). It was not clumsy at 7/8, handled well and shaved nicely. I liked it enough that I wondered if I should maybe try the slightly differently shaped 6/8 version as well. So many razors 
The best TIs are the ones that you enjoy the most
! Congrats on your new razor - looks like a beauty.
"Best" is always a subjective statement. The first question would be: Do you like the brand? Yes I do like Tiers Issard. Which of their razor models do I like the most? The standard 5/8 full hollow is a very forgiving and effective razor, but I must say that I'd be fine with any of my TI razors and I wouldn't have them all if I didn't really like all eleven. I must admit that I acquisition disorder seem to have got the best of me when it comes to TI.

My old every day shaver.
Polarbeard,
That TI with the carved scales and Eagle branding looks like my two favourite razors I own had a baby! Looks brand new, untouched, pure as the driven snow <drool>.

It was a very exciting moment for me when I openened the package and wiped the factory grease from the blade. It has more "bling" than any of my other razors.
I recently picked up a seven day set brand new for half price. All the razors were shave ready. I like TIs. Beautiful razors. I’m setting here reading all these posts and getting ready to purchase two 7/8 with French point. I’m afraid to finish reading this post. They are a bunch of enablers here. Well I’m razor poor again. Thank all you guys for all the help.

My T.I. Damascus is an amazing shaver. Great hard steel in this razor. It will chip if you're not careful while honing.
I've got a TI Medaille D'Or d'Alger with blonde horn scales and gold wash on the medals. It is a lovely razor and not one thing wrong with it. The razor is so nice I was planning another purchase.
The 1/4 hollow grelot is a superb shaver
Picked up my first TI last week at a thrift store. A "Wolf & Sheep" blade of unknown age and assumed plastic scales. Would love feedback on possible age. It needs a little polish on some surface rust, but sharpened right up. I'll probably test it tonight.
Pics and price are in the SR Acquisition thread here.

Fantastic score for a fantastic price. Enjoy it!! No idea on age, but someone will chime in.
