History Facts
The Royal Italian Navy contract in 1899 was for 5000 Pistols and they served well past
WWI and saw service in the WWII era. These Pistols were very useful to the Italian Navy
in small boat operations against the Austrians in the Adriatic. Very few pistols survived
the two wars & those remaining estimated at being 2000 were either destroyed or dumped
at sea.
