Too big a guess mate. Can't do it.
Ivory? De-natured antler? Bone?
How carved?
Can't tell these things from the pic.
Yes, its neat work, but I have Bali hilts done within the last five years that are as good, or maybe better.
However, after saying all that, I reckon its probably post 1930's. I say that only because I haven't seen a hell of a lot of really fine carving in hilts that pre-dates the upsurge in Balinese art that took place after European artists began to influence style and execution.
