Hello Robert,
Excellent work. A real beauty. It looks like the actual word on its first day after production during the Roman period. Not modern AT ALL.
You can see the piece is not bleached and not every piece of mammoth ivory is dark. In fact it completely depends on how it was found and what part was used of the tusk.
One of the best cavalry spatha reproductions I have ever seen.
