Wear on (ivory) hilts

erikscollectables · 8th February 2009, 10:15 AM

I have three very similar Madura hilts.
They have the "exact" same design.
They all three look quite old.
But the amount of wear differs very much.

How much time does it take for as much wear as on the 3rd example?

(ps the 2nd one might be bone and the 3rd has a repair)

I know it probably says more about the amount of use than just age but it must have take quite few years even with much use.

Any ideas on age of these examples?

Regards, Erik
