Hello Jose and Detlef, I believe that the hilt is made from horn and not wood, or I really hope that it is.
 Here is a little better photo orthe hilt to show the banding that I now do believe to be of silver.Regards, Robert Last edited by Robert Coleman; 28th December 2012 at 10:22 PM. |

The dagger arrived today and the hilt is indeed made of horn and the banding is of silver. The edge on this is still almost sharp enough to shave with. I will post some new photos of this tomorrow after I recover to show the silver and also post the measurements in case they might be needed for later comparison.
Regards, Robert |
