sword moro ? for identification

Congrats, thanks for sharing, Antoine!

This is the largest and probably the oldest blade of this type that I've seen. (Most of these seem to originate from the mid-20th c. with production of lesser quality apparently going on till today.)

Can you make out what is written on the label?

I'd love to see the blade polished and etched!

The wrapped "ferrule" is really odd as are the hanger rings on the scabbard. Any hints wether these features got added later?

Regards,
Kai
