Mark McM Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Anyone familiar with this joint Italian/French medal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalkanCollector Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Google translates "Reparti mitragliatrici modello 907 F" as "Machine gun departmets 907 F". That particular machine gun model is French made which is probably why it has both French and Italian women on relief. Here's the machine gun: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Étienne_Mle_1907 Unfortunately I don't know anything about this badge. I hope this information which I found are of any use to you!

SemperParatus Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) The text translates to Machine Gun (Model 1907) Section. During the First World War the Italians used St Etienne machineguns acquired from the French in addition to the more widely used Fiat machineguns.
