Hello, thank you all for your comments !

I don't think it's rhino but not convinced by the ''cow-buffalo horn'' too !


Just for discuss,

For the fighter sword and basic hilt argument who can not have rhino or giraffe,

I just wonder about ''basics'' gurade swords with rhino hilts per example or some simple not ornamented old oriental daggers made with rhino ,

for the ''non slippery '' particularity more than for the prestige !
( They were rare but chinese made it more exceptionals these last decades
no ? )


For the prestigious sword mounted with rhino more than horn argument,

I just wanted to show you these pictures of an old shamshir -kilij sold in an auction, reaaaally expensive !
sold as rhino hilted ,
( they are scales and not really straight lines is it ''just'' blond horn ? )

Kind regards
