Well Dmitry
It appears you are right and I am wrong. I will check my sword again. I am surprised. The sword appeared to be much much older. Regards Ron |

Well, thanks, Dmitry.
It could've stayed for years in my colllection without me realising what it really was. Fortunately, it was not expensive. And I don't really mind hanging to such a thing. Though I would've preferred it be an early Russian briquet. Regards Ron |

Hola Nando, Ron and Dmitry,
I have three of these babies. One spanish from 1870s, longer. The second italian, from the carabinieri (CA on the area of the ricasso, G and 19 on the upper area of the crossguard ) showing a thick blade spine near the ricasso. The third similar to the second one but with a rather thinner blade , its scabbard being very similar to the CA, although the leather stitches are different. And yet, since the CA blade's spine is much thicker, it won't fit in the third one's, even though they do look very similar. I haven't been able to ID the third one. Italian? How does the bersaglieri's differ from the carabinieri's? Any suggestions? Best M Last edited by celtan; 5th September 2010 at 07:22 PM. |
