Thanks for the information.
I would not recomend to send anything with ivory via Germany, as they, for many years, have been very strict. Years ago I heard about a collector who had bought a dagger with an ivory hilt in the US, and had it sent to Germany where he lives. The dagger was confiscated, and he was not even allowed to give it to a museum.
