Agree!

Thanks very much gentlemen =)

Good day Gentlemen. Would like to ascertain as well if these two hilts are ivory, and if so, whether it be of marine (whale, manatee) or terrestrial (elephant, hippo) origin. Thanks in advance.

Job A.

Agreed. This is very clearly elephant ivory and the Schreger lines are quite evident.
As was mentioned earlier in this thread, only elephant ivory displays Schreger lines.
Technically speaking i don't believe sperm whale tooth is actually consider "ivory", though for general purposes it is often declared as "marine ivory" and displays many of the qualities of ivory.

This link will clear any confusion and shows how to tell different ivory types and imitations.

The first is elephante ivory. The second isn't elephant, maybe Dugong or Spermwhale or walrus.

Thank you! This is useful information.

Thank you very much.

Cool! Thanks for this.

Greetings everyone. Just wondering if someone can help identify this ivory type on a kalis pomel. Thanks very much!

Hello Xas,

Looks like some sort of marine ivory. :shrug:
