It certainly is horn and translucent, but it seems a bit dark to be rhino , however, I don't know how to tell the difference.

I would say the hilt is definitely rhino. Great silver work.

Thanks Martin - I was thinking it was a gile variant being between a shotel and gile. Never seen this form before.
