Default it's silver

Hello,

I've been to a jeweller, he sand a little part the scabbard and told to me it is made of silver. He told meThe light gold coulour is due to a gold bath with local "homemade" methods. cause of the increase of silver and artwork, he said the price I paid id good, he estimates the value around 2000 euros coz of the value of silver and the artwork. H estimated it's not an antique piece but a nice copy.
the kabbalistic signs are maybe the astrological them of the first owner; the arab writings are the names of Mohamed companions.
