There is a functioning hornworkers in Lancashire - calledAabbyhorn (est 1749) - who should be able to help you with some of your enquiries Umberto.
I have a number of horn finger rings which are very beautiful - they do not have a signifciant web presence but you can request a catologue and info from [log in to unmask] or 01524782387.
They also work bone (e.g. collar stiffiners or a bone shoe brush) and antler - and make beautiful horn lanterns.
I was thinking of a little zooarch fieldtrip there sometime - attached to a bone working workshop? - anyone interested?
