I don't think I'd worry about what the original handle was made of. Instead of making it 'good as new' why not make it better? The old case bowies I've seen had some kind of synthetic handles. If that's what you want for yours then use Micarta. If the handle is wood - or if you'd like it to be wood now - then pick some nice stabilized wood from any knife supply house. Stabilized wood is easy to finish and your family will never have to worry about replacing that handle again, ever....
