I'm no expert either Blue, but i think this camel bone hilt looks very similar to the material in the hilt from post #10.

You're right, they do look identical. Perhaps it is camel bone. If I ever try to sell it I'll definitely categorize it as such.
I have a pipe with a camel bone shaft and it feels like regular bone. This one feels more like a rock. |

They just arrived. They appear to be made of the same material as the other two, whatever that is. Attached are two closeups of the hilt.

An auction recently ended on two more of these, nobody bid on it. These have straight blades and the pattern on the hilt looks a bit different.

But why are the blades made of brass? It's such an inferior material for this purpose that surely it must be they were symbolic or talismanic, and not functional weapons/tools?
This is a question I've had for years since I found mine! |
