Wanted Tortoise or Turtle shell

[Robert]

Help !! I need a piece of thin Water Buffalo horn to make a replacement band for the one missing on this dagger. If anyone has anything that you think might work and would like to sell, trade or just donate to the cause please contact me here or e-mail me at coleman5@copper.net Thank you. OK, here are better pictures.

That looks more like a sliver of horn boiled and formed to fit the scabbard.

Hello Robert,

Maybe you can post a detail picture and also of the back.

I checked with the wife, but our turtles are not for sale yet :D

New pictures above. Whatever it is if anyone has some I need it. :D I have changed the original post to reflect that I need water buffalo horn instead of turtle shell. Hope the title changed as well.

That is definitely not Hawksbill turtle .
Would agree; most likely horn .
