There are some inscriptions on the scabbard in Arabic (?); maybe someone can help to decipher them? Thank you!

Hello SF,

To answer your question, yes, it's a Moroccan koummya, age I only can guess, first quarter of the 20.th century?
Can't help with the inscription. I would remove the residue from the polish paste in the cavities.
