if you follow the link I gave it says that the ram's head was introduced in 1925 and kept for the 20th century.

The French domination of Morocco started in 1912 and ended in 1956

Eric Claude shows in his book "The Small Catalog of Moroccan and Algerian Weapons" several high quality koummyas in silver and gold from the second half of the 20th century. The piece in question is highly collectible regardless of it's age. But I've seen a koummya from the first half of the 20th century, also high quality, still in it's presentation box, completely unused.
By accident I recently also purchased a koummya complete in silver with gold accents. Sadly I can't find a hallmark.

Detlef
