Default High status beja Kaskara

Good Morning

Thought I would share my latest additional and see if anyone on the group can add to it.

Starting with the blade thats 34inch, has a very well formed fuller, small ricasso and nice tapering leading me to believe this a trade blade,
crossguard has a dark patina on it, well constructed and nice little details on the langets and quillions. Handle has some very nice silver work, pommel had a wrap of croc skin but made up of leather with what I believe is a jade finial. From the type of tassle I presume its a beja example.

The sheath leather has perished in places, has silver patterned loops and a really nice silver chap with some gold. The question mark looking symbol ive seen on other swords but not sure if it has some significance.

All comments welcome.
