The blade, style of decoration both on the sheath and handle is Maghreb.
Not the same, but also interesting case of Maghreb art: Below please find 10 years old photo of dagger from Tunissia: It was cca 45 cms long, big - massive handle with cock head pommel, the the scabbard and handle made of massive pure silver - and it was new (nevertheless very professional work) at that time.
regards,
Martin
