Thank you Nacho for the pictures. I agree with Spunger that the hilt looks like aged ivory.

Would it be unusual for a Panay piece like this to not have a collar at the bottom of the ivory?

The more i look at this the more it looks like a put together piece.

Well that is what I originally thought, especially where the ivory and the silver coin meet.

That's a mean carving for sure! There are several elements on the pommel that I find very captivating!
