Hello Ian, Hello to all members and a big thank you for your comments and your interest about this "enigmatic" sword :-)
The handle seems rhinoceros horn because its fiber had the characteristics of this very special material (fortunately the species is protected today).
I'm "almost sure" that it is rhino horn. Do you think it is not possible for this type of sword or have you another suposition ?
Thank you for your interest.
Have a good day and see you soon
Fabrice
