Hello
both koummyas are beautiful
but when I look for "le melopsitte", it's absolutely unknown on the net
a part that, it's a bird from Australia ! strange

these koummyas, give me to think,
more a special order made to be offered as gift to a very special guest,
than a country production, even of hight standard

before 1929 the "stainless" wasn't commercialized
and the 2 blades "le Meropsitte" are ... stainless (mention of INOX on )
for me these Khoumeyyas are made around ± 1960/70 at the oldest

all the best
