I'd suspect 1st half, if not a tad earlier. Nappy threw a spanner in the works of Europe and especially Italy from the very late 18th till about 1815 when they got Piedmont back & started taking over the rest of Italy, becoming the Kingdom of Italy in 1861, thus the earlier name became obsolete. Blade was probably surplus by then & sold or given to the Ethiopians.
