Who nows. Military issue should have some waffenamt marks.
I would say that it is some old commercially item and then private rework,

I visited collectors market today and for 10 eur I bought this holster. I can't find any markings, Once upon a time it was repaired and the belt replaced at the back.
Perfectly fit for HSc and its magazine. Even old leather is curved by the shape of the pistol and magazine.

My FN M1910/22 Yugoslav contract- VOJNO DRŽAVNI. I got this pistol as a gift from one lady in my village. Her father and my grandfather were together in a resistance Liberation Front committee in our village during WW2. Her son is my friend and as a kids we used to play together. He showed 9 mm shor...

No, I was sure that I have Italian production of 8 mm lebel, but I realized that I have actually Austrian production of 8 mm lebel for the Italians. You can read in the last part of the article about 8x50R.

Additional info. Confirmed, that Italy had their own production of 8x50R Lebel ammo.

PB and SMI were the government production plants for military production of 8 mm Lebel.ž
I know, that i red about this. However, I have to check all my cartridges collection.

Very nice uniform!

However, it is actually Austrian HIRTENBERGER production for the Italy in 1936. I have 6,5x52 Carcano from this producer. All ammunition has small star and yea...

I would think after a few months there would not even be any more ammo...I would assume that shipments were not made during the war.. Do you find any on the secondary markets still??? Does the receiver have an "N" stamped in it??? 1. Italians had a huge pile of that 8x50R Ball D ammo, because they ...

Yes, this is one of the most likely variant. I know that Serbian Army after the retreit to Krf Island was equiped By France. After the capitulation of Yugoslav Royal forces the Italian, German and Hungarian seized huge arsenal of modern and obsolete armament and rifles Berthier M07/15 were among obs...

And phostos of Anti- Communist Village Security from Slovenia during 1942-43. (photos are from the net).

More photos..

I have just one french weapon in my small collection. I have never had a big wish to buy some French weapon. But, I got one chance to have one connected to our history in Slovenia. The rifle Berthier M07-15. What was the history about these rifles in Slovenian teritory? First of all, Berthier M07-15...

Please for some education on that Carcano FAT41!
After detailed serch I noticed that the Carcano M38 rifle does not have a Fascist year number. Is it normal for that year (1941) of production?
Thanks
