Model 1891 Carcano cavalry carbine

I am considering a trade for one that is supposed to be in excellent condition. What is a reasonable price (ballpark) for one? I have not seen any pictures yet.

I would say 350$ top. Does it has the adjustable rear sight?

300-350 !!

I've wanted one for while. My grandfather carried one during the war. Make sure it's not sportierzed and it has the bayonet I think the artillery ones had the fixed rear sights.

Thanks for the replies, I will have to ask about the sight and get some pictures before making a offer.
