Hi Detlef,

It is horn, with an OAL of 65.5 cm.

Hard to tell.
It does resemble some kind of teeth from a small animal more than horn.

PS Very nice and unique hilt, Robert!

Nice piece Robert. I like it. Are you going to replace some of the missing silver?

Robert · 18th January 2013, 04:25 AM

Hello Jose, Yes I plan on replacing the missing silver pieces hopefully sometime in the next couple of months. I have so many projects started that I do not want to start another until some of these are completed.
