Mark McM Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Anyone familiar with this joint Italian/French medal?
BalkanCollector Posted September 4, 2018 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!
Mark McM Posted September 4, 2018 Author Posted September 4, 2018 yes, interesting stuff. Very enigmatic, but a beautiful medal!
SemperParatus Posted September 7, 2018 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. Edited September 7, 2018 by SemperParatus
