Thanks everyone. I had an idea it was nice as did the seller but nobody else had shown any interest. I am broke even though the price was not too high, he suggested a swap so I went home and came back with a bundle of stuff. he will sell them and make money on Zulu, Congo, Sudan and others. Perhaps sooner than he could sell the Kukri. I now start to feel that perhaps I got the best deal, sweet cos I am not a dealer.
Back to the kukri. I think it is Rhino horn, when I compere it to some other piece which is a bit darker but I have seen some very pale coloured horn. As to the scabbard, I do not know if it is original or not. It fits well and the withdraw ware fits the weapon. This picture shows a better view of how well it fits.
