I was going through some of my pics from my collection and found an interesting carcano I thought would be worth sharing (more pics coming once I pull it out)
It’s a 1H serial block post ww1 carcano m91 long rifle. It’s uncommon enough to find a carcano untouched by refurb or sanding with original acceptance cartouche but on top of that the 1H and 2H serial blocks were produced for a Chinese warlord contract. From my research the entire order wasn’t delivered and a portion just sat in Italian ports until they were returned to the Italian arsenals. I assume this rifle was never delivered. If anyone has any other info it would be appreciated.
