I did think that this might be bone as it has the faint lines sometimes seen in old table knife handles, but can't see how the incuse pattern could have been pressed into bone. The inlay could be nickel, but I strongly suspect it to be silver. Hopefully the fish carved into both sides should help identification.
34.5 mm.

Not sure where the fish came from, though.
