What kind of horn is this? I have buffalo and common cow horn hilts, and no one looks like this, even being very old and much worked. I live in a very sunny and dry area. Instead, from the photos that hilt looks identical to a hardwood I have worked with. Of course there are many things I have no experience with, and photos does not permit manipulations to study the material, so I said what to me seems correct. Does this horn comes from a specific kind of cattle? Thank you in advance for the information.
Regards

Gonzalo
