WW1 or post Italian M15 Adrian

[Ariete]

Hi all ,

Heres an Italian M15 Adrian that came my way. Im having a hard time with determining if its WW1 or reissued post war. A bonus which didnt apprear to me initially is the presence of what looks to be either coastal artillery or artillery of calvary stenciled badge.

As always all help is appreciated.

Can you make some close-ups of the badge, it's impossible to see on these pictures.

Hi ,

I will try to take some close ups without flash. The insignia is faint as it is. I can make out that it is an artillery badge. In addition it has either a flag pole or a sword between the cannons and cannon ball. What probably wont show up on the photo is that the badge has left its shadow on the remaining paint which shows clearly what used to be there.

Close up photo's to follow.

hope this helps

Probably it was a DICAT (Fascist Party territorial flak) insigna.
