SOLD ITALIAN WW1 GLISENTI MODEL 1910 PISTOL MINTY AND RARE

IN 97-98% CONDITION, WE HAVE A VERY RARE AND NEVER SEEN ITALIAN GLISENTI MODEL 1910 PISTOL. THIS WAS THE REPLACEMENT FOR THE MODEL 1889 SERVICE REVOLVER AND WAS THE ITALIAN ARMY’S SERVICE PISTOL OF CHOICE AT THE OUTBREAK OF WW1. WHILE THE PISTOLS WERE WELL MADE AND FINISHED AND LOOK QUITE NICE, THERE WERE SOME DESIGN ISSUES THAT COMPROMISED ITS SUCESSFULL USE AND IT WAS PHASED OUT OF SERVICE FOR THE MOST PART BY THE END OF WW1, ALTHOUGH IT DID SEE SOME LIMITED USE IN WW2 AS WELL. TODAY IT IS VERY UNUSUAL TO GET ONE OF THESE INTO THE OFFICE AND WE WERE GLAD TO FIND THIS ONE IN A VERY OLD COLLECTION. IF YOU COLLECT EITHER WW1 PISTOLS OR ITALIAN WEAPONS THEN YOU WILL NEED TO SNAG THIS.
