Hello francantolin
Hindu-Muslim tulwar hilt, the most common type is Delishahi. This type of hilt was first made in Delhi, hence the name. It is characterized by a round knob on the dome of the pommel, a small disc-shaped pommel, a relatively short handle, a short crosspiece and pointed ends of the crosshairs.
IMHO the second half of the 19th century.
