Rare WWI 1918 Brescia Carcano M91 Cavalleria Carbine – 1921 Roma Arsenal Refurb (Matching Stock)

Up for sale is a historical, collector-grade 1918 Italian Carcano M91 Cavalleria (Cavalry) Carbine, manufactured during World War I by Fabbrica Nazionale d'Armi Brescia.

This rifle carries exceptional dual-war provenance. Produced in the final year of WWI, it saw heavy wartime field service before being sent to the Regia Fabbrica d'Armi di Roma (Rome Arsenal) in 1921 for official post-war refurbishment, making it primed for re-issue through WWII. Finding an early WWI-era Carcano carbine that retains its original matching walnut stock, crisp arsenal cartouches, and a pristine bore is exceptionally difficult in today's surplus market.
