I'm with the consensus on this. I also checked it out because it's Moro and the seller has a good rep. I do not think the handle belongs to the sword. The fit is all wrong. The handle it's self looks very well done. I've never been overly impressed with ivory. I'll take a nicely carved Bunti wood handle over most ivory any day. I was considering buying for the handle and finding something else to do with the rest. I have one or two blades that have no length because they have no handle!
