Information

Italia
length 61,2 cm
Straight, single-and short false-edged blade, with signs of use and time, decorated in the first half with raceme engravings and bearing the Royal Factory of Naples mark at the tang. One-piece, brass hilt, with typical quillon decorated with florals in relief on the front side. Pommel with Savoy cross. Leather scabbard (signs of use and time) with brass mounts. Interesting is the pommel from which the "GN" monogram was removed in the period of use to replace it with the Savoy cross, a sure sign of reuse after the unification of this short sword of Bourbon origin.
