Hello, this item is a Berkel Superior Champagne Sabre, a contemporary luxury sabrage implement handmade in Italy rather than a historical military sword. The approximately 20.5-inch overall length corresponds closely to Berkel’s 52 cm Superior model, which uses a forged 1.4116 X50CrMoV15 stainless-steel blade and a polished black buffalo-horn handle. The distinctive recurved blade profile, minimalist polished guard, horn grip, and dedicated black display stand all correspond with the Berkel Superior Champagne Sabre configuration. Berkel currently markets this model as a specialist accessory for opening Champagne and sparkling wine bottles, and comparable examples retail in Europe around €430–€480.

The example shown appears to be in excellent condition, with a clean blade, intact handle and guard, and its purpose-made display stand present. As a modern branded luxury object, its value comes principally from Berkel manufacture, Italian craftsmanship, buffalo-horn fittings, condition, and completeness rather than age or rarity. Current secondary-market value would normally sit below new retail pricing, while an insurance replacement figure should reflect the cost of obtaining the same or equivalent Berkel buffalo-horn model at retail.

Fair Market Value: $300–$425 USD
