My mistake, I was thinking of the silver/copper alloy used by the Tuareg and Berber peoples. This definitely is a silver alloy of some kind from the way it responds to the polishing cloth. I don't know if a jeweler can test the percentage without damaging the scabbard, but if it can be done I'll have it checked at some point. By the weight and the way it shines up it feels like it must be high.
