Historical Significance

The Carcano Model 91/38 represents a fascinating piece of military history from the late 1930s Italian Army modernization program. Originally introduced in 1938, this rifle was part of Italy’s attempt to upgrade from the smaller 6.5x52mm cartridge to the more powerful 7.35x51mm round for improved battlefield performance.

Key Features

• Enhanced Cartridge Performance: The 7.35x51mm cartridge featured a spitzer-type bullet with aluminum-filled tip designed for improved terminal ballistics
• Fixed Rear Sight: Zeroed for 200 meters, typical of the period’s military doctrine
• En-Bloc Clip System: 6-round capacity using Mannlicher-style clips

Historical Context

This particular model represents one of approximately 94,500 rifles in 7.35mm that were manufactured before Italy reverted to 6.5mm production in 1940 due to wartime logistics. Many of these rifles were later shipped to Finland, where they were known as “Terni” carbines after the arsenal markings.

Collector Value

The 7.35x51mm variant is significantly rarer than the more common 6.5mm versions, making this an excellent addition for military surplus collectors and historical firearms enthusiasts. The inclusion of the original leather sling adds considerable authenticity and value.
