Great textbook example, Bill!


Hello Newsteel,

Quote:
Especially when the hilt is of rhino horn, most I found have cracks or damage.
Yes, the cracks are almost a given with antique horn hilts. I'm always extremely cautious if horn hilts don't show any cracks...

I haven't seen a peudeueng panjang hilt of rhino horn though (verified by examining the surface structure under magnification rather going by "fibrous" appearance which can also be seen with weathered horn from cattle like waterbuffalo!).

Regards,
Kai
