Thanks Louie, I am not confident enough to offer opionion on its side grain.

But yes the orange peel is just visible on the end grain. {crosscut like firewood logs.}

I can only say Tim what I have learnt from people who spends thousands of pounds on individual antique rhino horn carvings & who are not intrested in cow or buffalo horn , fakes of which riddle the market.

I am always happy to learn more though.
