Not sure we understand the question.
Do you mean how do you know when the scales aren’t original?
Doesn’t mean it a goof job though.
The pins are the easiest give away. Usually stock pins are only truly peened on one side.

What I mean is how do you know or not know some vintage razor is not NIB, NOS, Preserved well with little use, or has been. Disassembled, Tuned, and Replated?
Straight razors aren't plated.
I've not seen where people are faking NOS razors...

I think Mr. Iguana here posted this in restorations and didn't realise it was a sub forum of the straight section. I am pretty sure he is vintage DE user. I have bought a couple "NOS" DE razors that were not, but I didn't get scammed out of too much money.

Strange, had a look and there isn't a specific forum... thought there was too! I guess you just post it here on the DE forum:
