Based on examination of the lots’ online photographs, we concluded that they would be categorised as ‘worked’. Were all the rhino horn items pre-1947? However, in some cases we observed that the working looked minimal or crude. Unusual items would need to be properly We cannot be sure that all the rhino horn sold was pre-1947 examined to determine whether the items are authentic, i.e. as no item had been dated by radiocarbon-14 / isotope analysis, of their time, or more recently carved. which is the only accurate way to establish age. We should note that radiocarbon-14 dating would not, for This is an expensive test (the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator example, flag as a problem pre-1947 trophy horns that were Unit quoted £355 + 20% VAT per sample for five samples later re-carved, in order to meet the definition ‘worked’. or more) and 60% of the sold items in the Survey were sold for less than this.

We consider this to be a estimates were patchily provided, almost always in very serious anomaly as, effectively, this is enabling the continuing broad ranges. It is not possible to be confident how old these sale of unworked rhino horn. These items could provide a rhino horn antiques really were, means either to traffic modern horn by mounting new horns nor from where they had come.
