L'Armeria Reale di Torino (rare book)
This listing is marked SOLD and is no longer available


This is Mazzini et al's catalogue of Turin's Royal Armoury. It's full of many high quality pictures (~40 color pictures and almost 400 black and white) of swords, rapiers, daggers, armour, firearms, and artwork from the Turin collection, including the famous St. Maurice sword. All items pictured in the 390 black and white pics get descriptions that include some measurements. The text is in Italian, but translating apps (especially smartphone-camera-based apps) making reading it pretty easy. This is the same publisher as Armi Bianche and other great Italian references. There were only 2,000 of these printed; this is number 338. A great reference and a rare title. Copies of this book often list for sale in the $400+ price range. Many Italian books focus almost entirely on Italian pieces. This collection includes other European pieces, making it a little more well-rounded than some Italian titles.

This copy is in extremely good condition. The corners are unbumped. The dust jacket is in good shape, apart from a couple of spots in around the edges where the clear finish layer is peeling. To protect it from further damage, I've wrapped it in the same clear archival dust jacket protector I use for all my books. The binding is tight and solid.

Asking $225 or best offer plus shipping. Payment via Paypal, please. Please contact via the Contact page on my website.

Attached photos at the end are from the actual copy for sale. The photos immediately below are from another copy.
