Just kidding! That is a good choice. It could make one believe that the knife is original. Do you know what that jigging pattern is called?
I do not. It's from an old cutlery, possibly told Remington, but not confident about that at all. I bought a bunch of new old stock knife handle material from a woman some years back, her dad was a repairman, or had acquired the material.

That looks like Presto bone, also used to the Remington R2403 switchblades. It looks great on there.

Thanks Kaleb, that opinion helps what I was told.

Well, here is the finished product. Ready for another few decades of service, I suppose.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I did consider all of your choices...although I enjoy using stag on everything, finding a set that was long enough that would haft down thin enough was proving quite difficult. Ebony would have also been nice, but the bone I chose is old, and similar to the original bone that was on there. That's why I ended up on that.
