Brian,

The Dapur looks like Tilam Upih to me, with a tikel alis (eyelash) above the gandik area.

The mendak (hilt ring) looks like a simplified meniran form.
The hilt is a Maduran Donoriko form, probably made of ivory in this case.

As for age, it's hard to tell but I reckon this piece have some age to it.
The blade surface have rust to it. Perhaps with proper cleaning, more detail could be given.

If you don't mind, could you post more all-round pictures of the hilt.
More details could be told of this beautiful hilt.
