Rhino Horn Knobkerrie ?

katana · 29th July 2009, 10:46 AM

Other than the two examples that were sold on Artzi's site and a Rhino horn hafted axe ..sold at auction. I cannot find any others to help me value this for insurance purposes ie sold prices are not shown). If anyone has an idea as to approximate value could you please PM me.

I did find a reference to the the fact that Rhino horn was literally 'worth its weight in gold' (ref. dated 2005) ....at todays gold prices it would mean, for this knobkerrie, over £800 .....which seems far too much !!

I hope I have not breached the rules (discussing possible value)

Regards David
