This gun being
in 6.5mm makes it a 91. Having the fixed rear sight and dated 1938
or after means that it is a 38. Having the fixed bayonet means that
it is a Cavalry carbine, Thus we have a M91/38 Moschetto Per Cavalleria
or Cavalry carbine. There is one exception to this rule, Brescia
made M91/38's will have an adjustable rear sight which makes it confusing.
Model 91/38 Moschetto
Per Cavalleria not dated meaning that it was made in 43 after Musolini
was removed. Made only by Gardone with no date or manufacturer stamp
Sling is for the
Steyr 1888 Rifle- I like to place slings on my guns from countries where
they have been
and the Carcano has
been all over the Balkans, where the Steyr was used.
Another M91/38
made in 1940 XVIII by Gardone, late war Carcano or SMG sling
91-38 - 1941 XIX
Brescia did not change
the rear sight as the others did keeping the adjustable sight
Late model sling made
like the German K98 sling
