Title Cavalry trooper's sword
Nationality Italian
Period c 1914?
Sold

A nice example, with a good walnut grip and the blade marked on both sides for Alex Coppel of Solingen, and which could have been made as late as the 1930s in view of the condition. It is a classic Solingen export piece, extremely well made and elegant at the same time. There is some bruising to the top of the scabbard.

My Arisaka arrived at 9.00am. Very prompt delivery and excellent packaging! The blade is superb.. and just what I was after, its in very fine condition and just as you described.. I've referenced it in my copy of Raymond La Bar's book "Bayonets of Japan".

Many thanks, Chris, once again its been a pleasure doing business!
