In Madura or Jawa this hilt could be recarved, outside of there it needs to be replaced.
This would have been a nice hilt, & to get an old one of similar quality will cost, but in my opinion it would be money well spent.
Yes, it is a Madura blade, most probably second half 19th century.
It also needs a scabbard, and as mentioned, this would not be easy.
