Yes, I know, I am being greedy.

I have collected since the 70's and these are the only two I have ever seen. Both are horn, wood, horn although the horn is wrapped around the wood on the pommel end so I think they are one piece wooden hilts with horn decoration.

Sajen, I think you are correct about their rarity. Not surprising seeing the size of the Islands.
