One note on the hippo hilt - it was not easy to find one over here, as (i) it is rare all right and (ii) it was used in traditional medicine and shamanism, so they were really sought-after by many.
Actually, I've been told that all part of hippo would worth something in traditional medicine, so they never left anything behind...  |
