Information
Regno delle Due Sicilie
length 99,3 cm
Thin, straight blade, ribbed in the middle, with fuller at the forte. Gilt bronze hilt (mercury?). Shell-guard with crowned Bourbon fleur-de-lis in relief placed between the Trinacria and the rampant horse of Naples, guard with lion's head, cap with cylindrical button. Leather scabbard (earlier?) slightly loose with gilt metal mounts. See a similar example in Calamandrei "Storia dell'Arma Bianca Italiana" (ed. Olimpia 1999) p. 481, where it is suggested that it may be for the "Stato Maggiore" (General Staff). The example we propose has a mother-of-pearl grip, the one in the book has a horn or ebony grip.
