So I got this zeybek yatagan with its distinctive T shaped hilt, a nice twist core blade and some silver inlay, and what I thought was a wooden hilt in the photos turned out to be horn.
Is there any way to identify the species it came from? |

This is the horn of cattle. Maybe a buffalo, maybe a cow. But definitely not a rhino horn
