Hi Roano,

Thanks for the info, I have a few others that are black as well, but without the indent that you correctly noted on this one. Question: is it definitely buffalo horn in your estimation, because it is fairly tanslucent and that led me to think rhino. I've seen enough variation in rhino now that I'm often not sure, especially when it's under paint.

PS, thanks for the lion head, it's a keeper. I noticed what looks like a very worn six point star near the base of the blade. Do you know who the maker was?
