Forgot to post my findings yesterday, the grip scales do seem to be made of some type of bakelite/plastic type of material. In the recesses of the carving on the handle there seems to be traces of a gold colored substance. After testing with a magnet, the tang seems to only go down to the 2nd rivet. I don't think this would a piece sold to those who travel. I do imagine that this piece is of more recent manufacture though, 1950's or 1960's maybe.
