It might be hard but I say YES to matching the size and type of agate and complete restoration of the other half. IT is worth it. Beautiful puppy!

Nice peace.
I would say yes, so it could be handled, with a nice match, if glued & not riveted. What does the back of the agate slab look like? Was it the first handle this Yataghan had? The rivets in tang look like an old handle was removed & rivets cut off? I have never owned one of these but for some reason I though Afghani grip. Spiral |

I agree Spiral; it looks like one of the Khyber hilt variants .
BTW, your PM box is full; pls empty it.
