Thanks all for clearing this up. Does anyone have a similar shot of buffalo horn in section?
And yes, sadly some breakage on this otherwise nice hilt |

A view like this?
This is very old horn, probably over a century plus. Looks like wood grain. Lots of grime and dirt = patina.

Water Buffalo Horn
one of my favourite materials, shame about the breakage. Black buffalo horn are not difficult to find and they could be easily replaced if that is what you are aiming at |
