Michael,
I am pretty impressed by all the theories and citations from old books and publications that you can produce on this item.
Hopefully we can see the pictures of the steller seacow bone hilts in this thread. As seeing and recognizing that material will be quite interesting.
I have one hilt in my collection that has a distinctively different colour.
Maybe your relation can take a look at the pictures of that hilt ?
Best regards,
Willem
