I am a bit of a newby in collecting indonesian arms, and maybe Detlef hasn't seen that many sewars either

Marius, have a look to this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=thailand

Horn (water buffalo) can show a very fibrous structur when old and weathered, I think you see the same at your sewars but I am nearly sure that it's horn, like said, it would be the first I've seen with rhino horn! Belive me, it's not a common material by sewars!

Regards,
Detlef
