I don't know. I asked smallfoot and he guessed it might be ivory due to the scrimshaw. I don't see any grain in it so I'm thinking maybe micarta?

Here it is. It's 10.75". You can't see it in the pics but it has the octogon locktab like the old ones. And the original had a flat top on the bottom bolster (not curved like the modern ones) so that is how I did it.
