Description Hi, i dont know too much about this but I believe this is approximately a 1920/1930's horn handle walking stick. I am not sure what type of horn this is and I have been advised the part just after the handle which I believed was wood is also horn but im not sure how true this is. Any help would be appreciated on what I have and its value. Thanks Martin

EARLY HORN HANDLE   some of these were made of Rino Horn.... do you know how to test plastic or bone?  you need a hands on test the horn, if not Rino $50.00 to $100.00

small hot neddle, where nobody can see the test. if it melts. plastic. if it burns, wood. if it smells bad. bone. 

I don't like the way the stick looks. it looks like it was replaced.. Only by your photos. 

If its Rino horn its a whole diff subject:

Thank you for the response. I will definitely have to do the test. The actual stick from what I can tell is made of chestnut although this is searching the internet as I am far from an expert. What do you think the value would be if it is rhino horn? Thanks Martin
