Several towns in Morocco has used each its own silver marks which changed over the time. In the reference book I have used (Bijoux du Maroc by Marie-Rose Rabate) there are several pages with the Moroccan silver marks.
Thank you Tatyana!

It is very interesting what you said about the hallmark being from Marrakesh, i have uploaded a closeup pic from the back of the scabbard. There is clearly written in arabic "Kesh" and stylized Mara i think. It makes sense.

Would you be willing to attach a pic of the page from your book please?
