can't be sure but this might be a scooter that was airdropped during WW2 in Europe

I don't know where I found it
But Steve came through again let me know that it's an Italian soldier on an Aeromoto produced by Societa Volugrafo of Turin, Italy.

It was designed to be dropped out of airplanes along with paratroopers, made between 1942 and 44 when the factory was bombed
