Well, it is when you are trying to slip past CITES regulations, but then they do make a point about such materials on the page so they were obviously aware that it is ivory.

Beautiful sword, too bad there are not better photos of it.

Yes, especially with a complete pommel like that. To a lot of moro sword collectors, this would be the ultimate piece...
But for $9600.00, that's crazy
