Italian Flamethrowers

#1

Hi

I would be most grateful if anyone can identify the flamethrower in the attached photo.

I know that the Italians used two basically similar portable flamethrowers during the war; the Lanciafiamme Modello 35 & 40.

What I would like to know is this, which of the two models is shown in the photograph.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Bob

The only difference between the 2 models is,that 40 has an improved ignition system.From that pic you can't tell the difference.
