I must say, also, that leather work from Mexico is easily distinguishable, so it can be discriminated from the leather work of other places.

Gonzalo, you know Central American weapons far better than I do and therefore I will take your word that the above examples are not Central American.
However, would that also include the Carribean islands? I have a so-called "berber" sabre with a characteristic P-shaped hilt and a motto on the blade saying "Para Los Valientes Dominicanos". Certainly not what one would expect on a Riffian sword, even if it used a trade blade.
