Closeups of the hilt. It may be antler, but there's very little core I can see. I'd be interested in which type it is.
Had to compress the files. Hopefully they're still clear enough. |

From the close-ups it looks more like bone to my eye Michael.

I agree with David, the pores and the black decayed area at the back are typical of buffalo bone.
