Jens ivory handled daggers
Hey Jens,
From my perspective the dagger on the left would be African elephant ivory and the dagger on the right Indian elephant ivory. would agree they are not walrus ivory as the do no have that "crystaline" appearance at all. Rather a smooth "woodlike' on the dagger grip scales to the left and a milk white appearance to the dagger grip scales on the right.
The use of walrus ivory is very much to the Persian taste. Then, there are exceptions to every rule...
