It's a Caravel (one of these types http://www.francescoceccarelli.eu/arrarex_eng.htm, not as nice of course).
They are ~60s era Italian metal things. They only make ristrettos no steam wand etc. and thus no pressure tank. Just a lever to make pressure the old fashion way.
Lucky that a ristretto is what I like non-filter-coffee-wise so I'm stoked. The horrible espresso I had while in Italy made me decide to get one and use it to make it better than them as kind of a revenge on the Italian nation.
