so it arrived today, cleaned some dirt and had a good look. 
This horn handle is not as dark as the Ottoman horn you see in the Balkans or what you call present day Turkey; that looks close to more  black.  
This horn is more darkis brown when you look close at it, 
As the seller's description was correct: the ferrule and star or flowerlike ornaments on the handle / grip are silver. 
The 2 pieces of the handle / grip have a red metal in between them, ending into the ferrule: copper/bronze? 
 
So hope this helps you forum member with your determination on its age ...
