Is this tooth real?

Hello everyone.  I recently inherited this tooth from my father.  It was in his display case for 40 plus years.  Is it real? I’m sorry for such a newbie question I would really like to know.

Yup. I suspect repaired teeth might not have been as common back in the day. Looks like a nice specimen. Display it proudly.

 

 

Cheers.

Looks like a nice (real) one too me. Your father had a good eye. :)

Thanks everyone for such a fast reply! I always loved looking at this tooth as a kid. It will be displayed proudly for the rest of my days.  Thanks again!

Nice -- what else came with the case? We like drooling over old collections.
