Too Tiny?

Does indeed look like tridacna at first; but look at the fine (greyish) hairline at one side (first close up). >judging purely on pictures can be hard as when touching one would know it instantly<
Although I suggested ivory first I think -seen those brown specles on the other side- it is bone. I guess carabaubone could be thick enough on certain boneplaces to make a hilt out of as such.
The silver would be an alloy with silver and nickle in it.
