Hello , My pleasure , An interesting point ,the birthdate ,year 1879 , so when Italy entered in ww2 he was on his 60 years old . and you said that his rank was lieutenant a low rank for the age .inclusive for a reservist called to duty. try with these : Tenente Edoardo Barberis Gazzetta Ufficiale del regno de Italia. you wil discharge a Pdf  in Italian . If you dont read Italian , well someone of your family perhaps can .The Gazzetta is the official bulletin where all  and i remark all about the Italian Army Navy and Air Force was published between 1860 and 1946

My pleasure , regarding Fairchild and aerial survey , here in Argentina is preserved one of two Fairchild 82 D planes purchased in 1937 .both served for aerial survey until 1963 . when they were replaced with Avro Lincoln bombers .Perhaps in the Museo Nacional de Aeronutica .someone knows something about the aerial cameras used .museonacionaldeaeronauticamoron.blogspot.com.

I suggests you to look at :camera - wiki . org /wiki /Fairchild 

Edoardo Barberis ? 

Do you know at least his birth place ?

Hello : During ww1 some generals used the same belt buckle.

Hello Jurgen , My pleasure . regarding to the Ruby , Its a point about these pistols that in view of the succes of Gabilondo s Ruby s many un scrupulous people copied the pistol .in variable quality .

Could be Gruher . Heinrich

Hello , The pistol was manufactured by Gabilondo & Urresti . a Spanish manufacture which starts in 1904 . in 1913 Gabilondo starts with the semiautomatic pistols the first model was the Radium in 6.35 mm and without detachable magazine ,you must open one of the sides of the grip . In 1914 Gabilondo patterbed a new pistol the Ruby in 7.65 mm . the Ruby was sold in large quantities to France . during WW1

Hello : Enter into www. philipp .militaria com ./archiv artikel .maschinenobergefreite armelrangabzeichen . and you wil find a good photo

Hello , The piece is poor quality copy of the original .

Hello , the documentary is post fall of the Soviet Union .

Nice and , I believe , not common pieces

Parade Uniform ?

Hello , thanks for answer , I thought on the Red Air Force because of the badge on the upper sleeve very similar to that of Aviation. Exists a documentary video in four parts about the Uniforms and badges of the Red Army since 1919. Is Russian and speaked in russian but didactic with plenty of diverse eras film footage and pieces of uniform . 

My pleasure

22 hours ago, The Prussian said:

Yes. Müller is only a second name. Wilhelm could be both. But normally with a I or II it's the second name.

Prussian officers often said, a soldier only has one first name - his rank...

Oh Ja ! 

Thanks , a very interesting site . remarkable the high quality of the badges . 

Gentlemen . It was current into the German Army if a regiment have two Mullers ;by case to call one Muller I and the Other Muller II irrespective of their first names.
