This is Mazzini et al's catalogue of Turin's Royal Armoury. It is chock full of pictures (almost 40 color pictures and almost 400 black and white) of swords, rapiers, daggers, armour, firearms, and artwork from the Turin collection. It includes the famous Turin St. Maurice sword. All items pictured in the 390 black and white pics get descriptions that include some measurements. Yes, all the text is in Italian, but translating apps making reading it a cinch. This is the same publisher as Armi Bianche and other great Italian references. There were only 2,000 of these printed; this is number 418. A great reference and a rare title. Copies of this book often list for sale in the $400+ price range.
This copy is in extremely good condition. The corners are unbumped. The dust jacket looks pretty much flawless. The binding is tight and solid. It also comes with its original plain cardboard slipcase. The slipcase is in decent shape (with minor damage), but has done its job protecting the book for decades.
