Definitely a real, quality, Koummiya! A good example!

Now, whether it is silver or nickel-silver/alpaca/German silver is debatable but easy to check.

However it is quite obvious the scabbard and the fittings of the hilt are of the same material and belong together.

Considering just the quality of workmanship, I believe it is silver.

In many cases Moroccan silverware of the period were marked with a ram head or ox head silver marks.
