A formerly"Best German Hollow Ground" Bismarck. Forshortening eliminated the "Best". Still a good shave, but not much to look at.

I apologize if this is redundant and has been answered before, but what kind of wood/material are your scales made of?

İt is some kind of plastic only.

Typically I’m not a scale snob like some who collect razors. If they are plastic, ok. If they are wood, ok. If they are some kind of rubber compound that stinks, uhhhh ok. If they are bone, ok. If they are ivory, these things are so thin, I might break them, but ok. If they are Dorko 1151 scales, drool, I need a bib....

So, your razor was truncated, eh? An unintentional shortie? Interesting.

It was in a set of 7 various razors in a barber's roll. This one had a badly cracked blade. I performed the truncation. I was planning on making a short set of wood scales, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I'll happily give scales made of that stinky rubber compound a new home. Send them my way if you free them from a blade.

Here's tomorrow morning's on-deck razor. One of my best $5.00 finds.
