The competition was held from Tuesday July 16, 1924 to Thursday July 18, 1924. 47 fencers from 15 nations competed.

Italian Oreste Puliti was disqualified when the other Italian fencers in the final were accused of conspiring to lose to him in order to inflate his score. This led to Puliti assaulting or threatening to assault a Hungarian judge, Gyorgy Kovacs, and 4 months later the two duelled with real swords. The duel ended in a draw.[1][2]

Results

Quarterfinals

The top four fencers in each pool advanced. Bouts were to four touches. Bout record was the primary determiner of rank; ties were broken first by the number of times touched, then by touches scored, and then by a tiebreaker pool if the fencers were still tied.
