After GePi´s suggestion about the all metal shamshir hilt I browsed my books for similar hilts and found an all metal hilt with a similar blade, it even looks to be hollow ground (I could be wrong) and they are the same length 95cm. It looks correct, I think I will keep an eye out for a similar hilt. Allthough the sword in the book is quite old, I think there is possible to find 19th century hilts of similar style, but with different quillions.
i used all my MS paint skills to make this picture to compare, enjoy
