For those unaware, Mussolini was gifted the sword of Islam after he defeated Ethiopia.

It has remained lost since the end of world war 2. The last refrence I can find to it is almost 30 years old and vaguely suggests that it might have been looted by partisans. I can't find any more information after that.

Does anyone have any more information of what may have happened to it? It's a important piece of history to people interested in the history of fascist Italy.
