So What is This?

Hey Spiral,

Thanks, thats very interesting.

Here are photos I took of the horn. I think its real rhino as it looks different then the one you show. The hilt on mine was fully patinised, I kept the patina on the whole piece except for the top part which I cleaned.

Regardless, I will be very careful with these... good thing they sell as touristy pieces. The implication of the potential that real rhino can be found in what appears to be touristy pieces is very interesting though
