As Kai already explained, identifying rhino is not that simple from pictures.
If I look at Jean's pictures I would guess that it is old worn antler. Sharper pictures of all angles are helpfull. Translucity of rhino is also an important aspect. Best regards, Willem |

Sharper pictures won't be very helpful but I agree that my hilt could be made from old antler or whale bone from the "dots", see the left side which has a more whitish colour on the surface. The translucence is indeed a specific feature of rhino horn but it is not always visible.
