Default Small sudanese dagger

Hi all! I have bought this one, seems a nice one even if the blade seems heavy pitted from rust. Well I wait until it's here for a good clean and than I'll see what I have in the hands The seller says that on the handle is bone

Hi Flavio,
nice arm dagger, if the pommel end is silver ..there is a good chance that the bone could be elephant Ivory.

Regards David

Hello David, the seller says that the pommel is silver... I hope you're right and from pics seems ivory more than bone. Thank you
