Hi jswillems,
you could try the 'hot pin' test on a part of the handle that is generally hidden....the smell of burning hair is an excellent indicator.

Although the close ups of the handle seem to reveal a wood grain (similar to something like rosewood) ...but cannot be totally sure. Sometimes close-ups give false 'impressions'

All the best
David
