Need help with identifying Moroccan Koummya

[Marc M.]

Greetings

One of my koummiya's, hanzer type. Silver, bone and a good blade, with 4 silver marks on the sheath and 2 on the handle. Once found on the forum: Marrakech 1300 (1882) fleur à 4 pétales.
I had no idea that the manner in which the rings are attached to the lugs was an indication of age.
Regards
Marc

I think it isn't an indication of age, see here also: http://www.vikingsword.com/ethsword/koummya/index.html
