Hi!
I've bought that pair recently. Is that really rhino hide? It doesn't look so to me. They seem to me touristy I can't help. What do you think? |

Looks like elephant to me. Rhino I believe will let a little light through and I think it has a reddish tint when it does. Looks a little touristy, but still could be elephant.

I have some shields which are rhino and as far I know all rhino should be transparent, easy to judge just hold it near strong light. Best Hussar |

The leather looks rather thin to me to be elephant. I would have thought it would be a lot thicker at least the same as hippo or rhino? Tourist? why ?

Well, the eternal quest: Have they been made as combat pieces for warriors or just as souvenirs for thoose who travel for pleasure....
![]() I thik for thoose who travel for pleasure. Any other opinions? BTW, the are not transclucent so I would guess that they are made from elephant skin. |
