hello Branco as far as I can see it is a frence gnome rhone motorcycle
500 cc type 2CV
probably 1938 but difficult to see exactly
A two cylinder with cardan transmission 4 speed
Its also possible that its is a type x a 750 cc mpdel, they look the same from this angle

Hello Branko I am glad i could help.
The second picture is much better but still I am not sure about 750 or 1000 cc maybe someone else knows the difference ?
maybe there is a owner among us?
regards Chris
