Hi Teodor,
If you check out the posts to the original thread you will see that Gavin posted pics of another of these, which is different in terms of the scabbard make up. The one he shows has two wide bands, whereas mine has no bands.
So there are at least 2 of whatever these are in existance.
I agree that the general blade design is typically Moroccan. The hilt has Indian traits, but that could just be coincidence.
