Hi Lew,
Definitely a good buy: blade seems to be in good condition and with a traditional scabbard including inked decoration! I'd guess that the hilt is made out of waterbuffalo horn but better have a close look... BTW, no cracks on the hilt? If so, be especially careful not to let it dry out too much (many horn hilts have split due to shrinkage).Regards, Kai |
