I have handled albino carabao horn before and it doesn't seem to be translucent like rhino, nor is it as fiberous as rhino.
If there is an example of albino carabao horn that is translucent like this, please post so that we can compare and learn. |

Not an easy one I agree ...and a rams horn ...is inscribed on the blade on your second picture...so... But the grip opposed to the ears is so hacked about it is almost impossible to tell ...but I will stick to the translucency test which indicates Rhino … probably very old but there it is. Notwithstanding the horn ..this is a great weapon and a fine example. |
