Hello,
Thank you David!! I like when old forgotten stuff revive again !! ( I think it's the same for all members on this forum !  )Finally I think that's the handle is the most interesting piece : Nice translucence, Giraffe or maybe rhino !?! |

Nice job. Yes the hilt could be rhino horn.
Have you etched the blade yet? |

Hello and Thank you,
No I haven't etched it, I have no more ferric chloride ( and no nital here...) I cleaned the blade with sand paper WD-40 and vinegar alternately , maybe there is a pattern, maybe a structure on the guard too sure I have to try... |

Sure !
But I don't think your ears are brown when not enlightened and hope for you they are not thick and hard and fibrous as wood ... I have other brown horn hilts and no light at all |

Thank you for taking a photo backlit. Now the structure of the horn shows that this is not a rhino ...
