Founded in Milan, Italy, in the 1920s, engineer Fausto Alberti’s Sertum factory produced its first motorcycle – a 175cc side-valve single-cylinder four-stroke – in 1924.
Many types of machine were soon to follow, ranging from a humble 120cc two-stroke single to a 498cc side valve twin. Noted for their robust design, Sertum models became popular as endurance trials mounts and also won favour with the Italian military who were to order them in large numbers. Despite a reputation for high quality and a move to a larger, more modern factory in 1950, the bikes never really captured the public imagination and the relocation proved a step too far, production grinding to a halt in 1952.This military issue Sertum is still in its Italian Army trim and is one of the rugged 500cc side valve models that were produced up until 1948, its unit construction engine being housed in a heavy frame with strong top and front tubes ideal for hanging all the military equipment required to go to war.There are no documents with this machine and its exact date of manufacture is unknown. Rarely seen in the UK, this machine is sure to cause a stir on the burgeoning military re-enactment scene and, once recommissioned after long-term display at Stondon, would be ideal for anyone wishing to re-create the raid on Monte Cassino or the North Africa campaign.
