Hello Henk,

Quote:
Pommel looks more wood to me. I can't discover the ivory.
That's not wood grain but Schrade lines...

Thus, should be elephant. Flavio you could try measuring the exact angle to determine the genus/species. BTW, I would be interested to see an example of Moro ivory verified as being made from mammoth (which seems to have been widely traded - reaching SE Asia seems not unlikely).

Regards,
Kai
