Hi Guys,
Nice sword Bill!
Rhino horn sometimes has a translucent outer layer, at least.
Heres a solid, 26 inch long, 2part {eg. The handle & shaft} Georgian {As in pre Victorean.} Rhino horn riding crop, which shows the partial translucent outer layer in the handle.{from a small diameter tusk.The tusk center is the other lighter patch.}
When carried in bright sunlight it glows like a bulb in the translucent area !
The colour varies from yellow to green brown on the handle & the shaft is green brown without translucency.
