Moroccan Jambiya? Odd markings

Hi, Archer,

I gotta say, that is definitely the koolest koummya I've seen in a while. That blade is incredible, and the stamps are a real treat for a serious collector like yourself. Congrats on finding this!

Cheers,

JRF

Looks like it is a Bulls Head marking. Strange we don't see more of them. Slightly differing Cartouhe shapes between Fez and Marrakesh. This is the first bull hallmark I've gotten. I have a few that have coins imbedded. I'm told they represent dates. Others, seem to have coin like markings in the design. can anyone shed any light how they represent silver quality?
Thank you all for your comments and interest. Steve
