SPECIAL NOTE
We are looking for any information regarding the story of
these Enfields.
We know for sure that they were supplied to Italy right
after the II World War but the total quantity supplied is
unknow. Italy assigned them to the Navy Arsenals such as La
Spezia, Naples, Taranto, Cagliari, Agusta. We do not have
any other information and we ask anyone who has interesting
informations on this subject to kindly contact us.
