Spanish Morocco Berber sword

Hi Jim, thank you for your kind words as always.
I do not think that is an anomaly, I've seen other swords from collectors and for sure from Morocco...
Now again I'm fully convinced by the other members, Fernando, Teodor and you that they are Spanish "colonial" swords "tropical machetes". But on their way to America it seems that they have been adopted in Morocco.
I think that you have a good point by saying that it's post Buttin collection.
But even if Buttin was a specialist of Morocco he didn't have a full range of North African swords, for example no Tunisian Berber sword...
