Salaams Ivo, Although the sword ticks many of the boxes recognizing the Moroccan connection; in terms of quality finish and decorative technique it clearly falls short, placing the item in the tourist arena. Rather like a tailor using a hot needle in making a less than reasonable quality suit I would use the same expression in describing this sword...but it is good that you recognize the grade in your question and so that others may learn a lesson or two when confronted by swords like this... so Bravo on that!!
