Figural horn (possibly rhino) hilt

[kai]

Hello Jean,

Sorry for the brisk comment. A search on the main forum will yield a bunch of threads covering the identification of horn.

Could you please show us a hilt made from white or green buffalo horn and having a similar color to the one shown by Gustav?

Here some examples from albino water buffalo:





(The greenish variants tend to be a bit darker, of course.)

Regards,
Kai

Thank you Kai. I rarely look at the main forum so I did not see these pics. I agree that the identification is confusing although the color of the rhino horn seems darker (mid brown), and I am more familiar with the green horn which is quite different.
