A desert bring back I suppose. When I lived in Aust there were quite a few Italian cases, mostly 20mm, in the scrapyards. Gleefully scooped up of course !!!!!
Recently found this in New Zealand.
First i've seen here in 15 years of collecting.
Italian cases are fairly uncommon in NZ.
I think it is supposed to be 132mm long.
Sadly this one is only 108mm long.
Cannot think of any legitimate reason for it to have been cut down

Yes very probably a desert souvenir... dated 1940.
Can anyone confirm that 132mm was the proper case length?
Thanks very much
I also have Austrian 10cm M14 listed as 100x132R
And listing (plus example) of Czech 10cm vz14/19 ( 100x183R )
Any comments welcome
There is one for sale on Delcampe at the moment with a length of 133mm
