I THINK IT IS RHINO THE LIGHT TEST AND INSPECTION UNDER HIGH MAGNIFICATION IN GOOD LIGHT MAY MAKE IT CLEAR. THE HOT PIN TEST WILL NOT HELP HERE AS HORN OF ALL SORTS SMELLS ABOUT THE SAME THE PIN TEST HELPS DETECT PLASTIC OR OTHER CAST MATERIALS BY ITS SMELL OR THE LACK THERE OF. LOOKS TO BE A OLD ONE DUE TO THE CRACKED, DARK PATINA AND WEAR ON THE HANDLE. A NICE FAMILY HEIRLOOM.
