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?

If it's ivory, I got a deal. Thanks Bill.

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.
