Hello,
Thank you David!! I like when old forgotten stuff revive again !! ( I think it's the same for all members on this forum ! ) Finally I think that's the handle is the most interesting piece : Nice translucence, Giraffe or maybe rhino !?! |

Nice job. Yes the hilt could be rhino horn.
Have you etched the blade yet? |
