Nice Tim!! These are sort of the unattended corner of arms collecting in most areas, and while most attention is given to the same military history that has been constantly written on and focused on. Most never realize that Italy, bother before and after unification had pretty rich and complex military history.

The best book on these weapons is on the regulation arms by Calamendrei, I forget the title and I'll see if I can get to it. My Italian is a bit rusty

but it can be navigated through.
