Roma 1923, an Italian Fascist knife (sold)

In good condition, a 1923 Fascist Italian knife made by Barlacchi in Rome.

An unusual knife, perhaps made bespoke to order, would be very useful as a paper knife but I somehow do not believe that was what is was made for! 6 1/4 inch blade. Engraved "MSVN" to the crossguard, "Barlacchi" one side of the forte / ricasso, and "Roma 1923" to the other. A rare piece. Further / full sized photos available upon request. Item Ref: A98 (481)
