I will happily accept correction, but I thought the "oatmeal" was the thing to look for with walrus ivory, and I'm not seeing that.

Honestly, if this is actually marine ivory, of what ever flavor, I'm happy.

Thanks,

Hello Leif,
I was already thinking about walrus ivory from your first pic and although it is not very clear I would tend to confirm it according to the "marble appearance" on the top & bottom sides of the protruding part, see my hilt (the top one) for comparison.
Regards
