Wear on (ivory) hilts

[erikscollectables]

Thanks Sajen,

I agree totally, the carving of the middle one is very good, maybe the best in my collection,

Would you share pictures of your hilts here?

I am very interested in these type of hilts (and Madura in general too)

I think that the hilt in the middle also from ivory but difficult to to say without handling. I own also five ivory hilts in this style and all shown a different colour. I think that the hilt in the middle dates back to beginning 20 th century or end of 19 th century the others maybe many moore old.
The hilt in the middle is the finest, very well carved.
