Kaskara & Takouba "Enigmatic" Mark Revisited

My only guess about limited distribution would be sample size. EAA collectors have identified several (identified in the various threads) and I don't know how many kaskara or takouba are in the hands of our members, others and museums Also, the Mark may have only been engraved on the swords of higher ranking members of the sufi order, those who have attained a higher order of adeptness and not rank and file member.

Hopefully, other collectors will more closely examine their kaskara and other North African swords more closely for the famous mark.
