Interesting reading!

Google translates the battalion as 'marine' but I think it should be better translated as 'maritime'...

What is a 'soliped'??? A camel??? A horse???

It is the barrel - receiver - toggle assembly from a M2 Portuguese Luger.
The barrel bears serial number 3647 (with the circled triangle just below it). The receiver, however, does not match it.

I would not mind having that cannon assembly...
