Very interesting the link with Faturan. I have in my collection two koummiyas with hilts that might be made of Faturan.,

Hello,

Sometimes strange hilt material are mixed on really nice quality items

I have a yemeni jambiya with an hilt made of plastic-amberoid
and a yatagan with broken horn grip with a large old bakelite repair
( around 1900 I think )
I'll post some pictures
