Hello erilkhan, how very handsome and such lovely crisp silver work. I no nothing about the Islamic calendar but the formal borders of the cartouches and there contents have a strong European influence and the profusion of decoration makes me think of the latter part of the 19th cent. Where in the Islamic world do you think it comes from? How do you know the handle is walrus ivory? Tim
