Default Rams head Symbol

Hello, I'm seeking the same information. Swords & daggers page 30, by Mircea
Veleanu says, it is the mark of Sultan Hassan I (1873-1894). I'm wondering if it is an armory mark, silver quality? The mark appears on each separate piece.
A second one about 45 years younger has no marks for metal quality or the rams. Fez may well have been Hassan I s' capital. Any further info would be appreciated. Steve

Oh, second question do some hilt caps have exposed wood instead of being silver covered? Poorly phrased, please see second photo.
