Default Dear Runjeet & other experts

From time to time I come across Kastane swords described as having a rhino hilt. There are no rhinos in Sri Lanka at least in historic times and this has been a sticky point. I have seen the red sheen on what I take to be buffalo horn and have been tempted to think that there is some substance applied over the buffalo horn.

What were the criteria that you developed in order to distinguish rhino horn from buffalo horn.
