Carcano stamps

Both by FAT Fabrica Arma Terni

Upper one is a late war terni. Last known prefix is BH ###X and yours appear to be BB ###X. I have one in the BG prefix batch made under german control after they invaved the north of italy. I dont know when it was introduced but late model sometime have cutout for a sight hood like the K98k added there by the german. Pretty cool feature if you have it
