[Bonetools] BONE USE IN GRIPS OF WEAPONS

[Joel Jacobs]

Hi Alice,

You're right to correct me.

Camel bone is a good addition to the list, but the weapons in which I'm interested are primarily European in origin.

Best,

Joel

  Dear Joel,
       It just occurs to me that sixteenth to nineteeth century yatagan swords from Turkey often 
  had bone hilts, some very likely made from camel bone as well. Antler and horn should not 
  be conflated...

  Best,
  Alice
