I'm glad to read that.
So let's do it

I agree too. And a Spanish / South American blade on a Moroccan berber sword is a Berber sword...

It has an Arabian baldric instead of Persian suspension rings.

Here I disagree, you have 2 suspension rings on the scabbard.

The gorgeous baldric was added later.

The leather work and guard look Persian.

I feel that this sword was a Persian shamshir refurbished in Balutchistan, with Omani silver work influences...
