Have german drilling and the trigger guard is horn with a factory screw built into guard,but mades it weak there and was cracked when I bought.So somehow now broke completely.Looking had old repair with pins and glued. Question is anyone had luck with special glue to hold horn???

i think is horn,

Yes thanks corrected

Rollbac,
The most satisfactory will be to replace the horn. Material may be a little hard to find, but not impossible.

Try this e-bay seller. This is Joe Dombrowski who has also advertised buffalo horn blocks in the for sale section here:

I recently bought an over-sized horn trigger guard that I needed to for a drilling I have. It is already shaped and polished and the tang section is left wide and thick to be fitted to your gun. I think CSMC sells these. I was lucky and found mine in a box of junk at a gun show for a very reasonable price.

thanks

A word of caution: some buffalo horn smells like hot buffalo butt when working it. I'm not sure if that applies to the ones linked above, but go in prepared.

Lever, I believe that's the nature of horn and antler.
