Can you describe what the shell looks like ? I have Japanese "Shells
of the Western Pacific" and if you can send a picture directly I might be
able to lead you down a path.

Don’t know Mark but we lived lived in Okinawa. I have one Compendium of Seashells and its list of common names is brief. Our shell library is boxed due to hurricane Michael damage. Tried on line and all I can come up with is various knives with abalone inlaid handles. I am familiar with Damascus steel but that does not helping this case. Can anyone help?
