    Hi all,

    This picture came with an album
    I recently aquired. Can some
    identify this piece and also
    it's specification if possible?

    It's Italian - forget the name and make. I have seen it in photos of Italian troops in the Desert. That might give you a bit of clue in tracking it down?
