Then I cleaned and sand it gently
( I got time with coronavirus... at least one good thing with this problem !) Was sols as wood handle, it is horn and the blade seems not that bad ! a 19th persian shamshir ? |

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? |
