Up for sale is a historical, collector-grade 1918 Italian Carcano M91 Cavalleria (Cavalry) Carbine, manufactured during the final year of World War I by Fabbrica Nazionale d'Armi Brescia.
This extremely clean rifle is an exceptional specimen for the military surplus collector, retaining all of its desirable period-correct features alongside a complete, hard-to-find accessory package. Finding an early WWI-era Carcano carbine that maintains full numbers-matching hardware and full functionality is increasingly rare in today's surplus market.
Key Features & Provenance
- WWI Production: Barrel shank proudly bears the 1918 date code and Brescia factory stamping, documenting its authentic WWI heritage.
- Full Numbers Matching: All major serialized components, including the barrel, original wood stock, and trigger guard/magazine assembly, match stamped serials throughout.
- Period-Correct Hardware: Equipped with its fully functional integral folding spike bayonet, locking latch, adjustable rear ladder sight, and an original period-correct Carcano sling.
- Rare Accessories Included: Package includes two en-bloc clips (one original vintage, one reproduction), a rare original two-piece cleaning rod set, and 20 brass casings ready for handloading.
Bore & Mechanical Condition
- Bore Condition: Decent, shootable bore with defined rifling. As is typical for original Gain-Twist Carcano barrels, it shoots best when loaded with traditional .268" diameter projectiles.

- Wood & Metal: Solid structural condition with clean surfaces, crisp stampings, and authentic historical patina without heavy damage or cracks.
