From the Days of Italian Colonialism

[Bill Grist]

The Italian Ordnance Board generated this complex pistol Called the Model 1910 commonly refered to as the Glisenti Model 1910. Even though I have serial Number 77 with a date of manufacture of 1909 .. The calibre is 9mm Glisenti, which has the same case legnth as that of a 9mm Luger, except it is loaded lighter.. Many collectors do not know that there is a combination tool under the left grip.. The wooden handlepistol was picked up in North Africa, and the pistol in the flap holster was picked up in Germany by a GI, I dont know about the one in the shoulder holster..enjoy BILL

Great pics. Italian weapons are interesting and often overlooked. I wrote a magazine article on the Carcano fifle for an Italian military magazine named "Coorte" a couple years ago, and was amazed at the info I found in research,
