Thank you folks! The sundang was once sold by "Mytribalart", here the description from Arjan:

A Malay sundang of excellent quality.
The pommel and ferrule of hippo ivory. The blade with very nice pamor and openworked detail. Original scabbard, perfect fit, tiny damage.
Bought by a tobacco plantation owner on Sumatra at the end of the 19th century.

Size: Total 67 cm, blade 48 cm.

# Albert: I think that only the pommel and ferrule is from hippo ivory.

Attached a few more pictures from Arjan.

Regards,
Detlef
