Information
Ducato di Parma e Piacenza
length 100 cm
Tipped, single-and short false-edged blade, for a good part of its length with fuller, engraved at the forte with racemes and trophies, also engraved on the back. The tang is marked "F.HÖRSTER" and the signature in italics "Fur Jung / Wien". Fine iron hilt with knuckle guard pierced with racemes and featuring the Bourbon fleur-de-lis in the centre. Long cap, grip covered with fish-skin, with metal wire binding. Iron scabbard provided with two lugs decorated with faceting. Interesting, given its good state of preservation, and rare. The Ussari di Piacenza regiment was formed in 1859, at the time of the Provisional Government, and later passed into the ranks of the Italian army after unification. Cf.: see a similar model in "Storia dell'Arma Bianca Italiana" by Calamandrei (p. 410 with photo), the sabre is listed as one of those in the regiment's possession before unification.
