Thank you Battara, I'm familiar with the gritty pitch mixture used with Moro handles. This has a dark color that blends with most horn, its a smooth, hard and waxy material. This "glue" in my limited experience is used mainly on Jambiya vs. the hard borax on Persian daggers. It's like the hot melt glue used years ago for fishing rod furrels and broad heads on wooden arrows. I think that the proper glue will complete the repair.
