Description
WW1 Italian 75mm Field Gun dated 1918
This Gun used against the Allied Forces in the desert in WW2 and then captured by New Zealand Troops at the end the war and then this Gun was sent back to NZ after the War. This Gun was captured alongside the Austrian guns, there are photos in books relating to this in the Desert War
This Gun has been restored around 30 years ago and shows no rust with the same paint job that was applied on it 30 years ago.
I would rate this in very good condition and would be the only Gun like this in New Zealand.
These are an extremely rare gun, I only know of one in the Duxford Museum in the UK and I think there is one in Australia somewhere.
