First of all, thank you roanoa for the identification of the blade, I did not see it before (and thanks for reference to Julius Voos catalogue, which I also did not know).
The handle is made of plastic I think. Maybe imitation of tortoisesshell
Is it plastic or bakelite?

Many old jambiya have bakelite hilts... I'm pretty sure that your hilt is original...
BTW absolutely beautiful
