Regno delle Due Sicilie
length 91,2 cm
Elegant, double-edged, straight blade of lozenge and hexagonal section at the forte, engraved with racemes at the first part and featuring the signature and date 'Mendoza / 1859 Napoli' at the forte. Minor pitting. Fine brass hilt keeping most of its antique gilding. Shell-guard with anchor in relief on flags and trophies between lion's heads. Guard decorated with lion's head and floral motifs, pommel with heraldic dolphin's head. Grip with mother-of-pearl grip scales, the front one with plain shield. Earlier leather scabbard (a couple of repairs, apparently of the period of use) with mounts gilt en suite and engraved with floral motifs. Rare. Probably for officers of the Italian Engineer Corps or the Political Chief. See a similar model (of lower quality) sold in our auction No. 62 lot 647 (y. 2016) from G. Fiorentino's Bourbon Arms Collection.
