From your pictures, the patina on the ivory looks like it's pretty old. It looks like everything is very old. The kakatua on the one I'm posting is bigger, but has some simularities. The "elephant" head is also simular. Would guess the age is about the same on both too. The one I'm posting, I would have thought came from Sulawesi or Brunei. I think there was a post sometime ago where someone stated the metal wrap on the hilt was Malay, Riau or the straits area. The Bugis would be common to the whole area.
