На счет импортного клинка, я не совсем согласен, по-моему, мы не до оцениваем мастерство марокканских мастеров, да и не только марокканских. Зачастую, как только находится неординарный этнографический предмет, возникает желание приписать его к «импорту».

While I can understand Russian, most others here cannot, and we should stick to English so they can follow the discussion.

You could be right about the blade. There were however blades imported from France after Morocco became a protectorate, like the ones marked at the forte with a steamship or Napoleon III's face, etc. and the Latin numerals seem to point in that direction. It does not mean that local smiths could not make good blades, simply the combination of factory mass produced blades of good steel quality available at an affordable price created a market for imports.
