The "filling" of the handle. It is the same you can find by old Tulwars, something like natural resin and paste which has a stone-like texture. It doesn't look very recent, too:

At last the pierced silver fittings. The ornaments were likely embossed with a tool and refinished by hand. To cut that fine decoration completely by hand would be very exessive work, so it not surprising that it was made in a more simple way. However, that may speak against a product far before 1900.
