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.
  • Action: Smooth bolt cycle, tight lockup, and positive mechanical feeding from en-bloc clips.
  • Wood & Metal: Solid structural condition with clean surfaces, crisp stampings, and authentic historical patina without heavy damage or cracks.
