Looks a nice well made piece to me, sometimes small is beautifull. Does NOT look like a paper knife or other tourist piece.

A.alnakkas, try polishing the hilt with a little wax using a piece of medium textured cloth like a wash cloth and see what happens. If it is shell it will look like mother of pearl when polished and if bone or ivory it will help bring out the graining so to help in identifying which it might be. A very nice item regardless of hilt material, my congratulation on your new acquisition.
Regards, Robert |
