thank you all for your swift replies, which are most interesting to me.
Even if there is no conclusive answer, or at least not yet....
Henceforth looking very much forward to further info.

The hilt is neither horn nor bone I can say as it is too heavy for that:
it became detached and looks like the ivory I have seen from the better Ottoman yataghans but am open to any advise if you know any other heavy material?

Would it be correct to determine it at least to be Indonesian ?
