Some pommel pictures. Any thoughts about the ivory origin? My guess would be hippo ivory.

Hi Detlef - cool archaic! I agree on your observation, that the pommel looks like hippopotamus tusk.
Best wishes, - Thor |

thanks for the kind words, Detlef... regarding that kris with the broken handle: i think the best way would be to tackle the problem is just to get a new pommel. recarving an addition to the existing piece might or might not bring it back to the way it was. just a thought...
