Hello. Newbie here. Question regarding Case 1836 Bowie

Hey all,
New to the forum.

I recently was given Mt dad's old Case bowie that saw a couple tours in Vietnam and years of abuse after. It's a case 1836. I'm looking at putting on a new handle and cleaning it up "good as new".

Can anyone tell me what the original handle was made of?
Any suggestions on what material to use as a replacement?

I contacted Case directly and they said they have no information on a knife this old.

Thanks
Dennis
