Both nice sewars are from the East coast from Sumatra IMVHO. The second one is a very nice example.

Hello Hugh,

It would be the first sewar I've seen which is made from rhino horn, in short, no, I am very positive that it isn't made from rhino horn. We had this discussion before regarding rhino horn somewhere. Found the older discussion regarding rhino horn: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=sewar

Regards,
Detlef
