Hi Jacques, Always nice to find a signed and decorated blade. The sheath style
is I'd say early Nineteen hundreds. You didn't say but assume it is silver. Great
start on a collection. Steve

Nice, similar to one I have!

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

Great work Dom. Following your lead the bird maybe a dove. Interesting about the early use of stainless. Here's one very much like Lotfys. I like both of them.

yes, I saw it, it's from there that I got the evidence of the mention "inox"
the mention in Arabic ; "al esteqlal" either "The Independence"

to satisfy the curiosity of non-Arabists
on the A.alnakkas's blade is written in Arabic
- "El Ahd El Jadid" or "new life"

at least 50 years, you said Jacques ...
that make sense with what I gave as date; ± 1960 either; ± 58 years
it's not before 1956 that the Maroc acceded to his independency
before this date,
the country wasn't structured enough to produce such items of high quality
I well noticed, that the "ricasso" of your koummya seems be old ... or old fashion

what make a question mark, it's that mark of "le melopsitte"
who hasn't existence some where else, no idea what was (is) behind ?

amicalement
