Hi everybody
Excuse my late answer but it was difficult for me with the preparation of the Cannes Film Festival...
Jim i need some hep for publishing photos so i have send them to the mail address of the blog
Alexandr i think that the box i have send is the corect one from COLTELLERIE RIUNITE DI CASLINO E MANIAGO
They were also in Solingen
The dagger and the box come from the family a former officer of the militia of Lucca Toscana
you will judge with photos
here links about this manufacturer
http://dati.acs.beniculturali.it/oad/uodMarchi/MR020175http://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/impresa-e...l?uuid=AbfwOkqGPaul the reason for this change is that the brass had become a strategic material and that the cost was too expensive blowthere have been several variants from different manufacturers , the most famous are
SCUOTTO E TURCO from NAPOLI
NAUTTI from MANAGIO
i try to send you a scan with different models
