Markings: 1939 re terni SA XVIII 02 PO FP crown 2 places S9772. Jun 24, 2014 It was made at the R.E. Terni arsenal and the markings on the butt are the serial number, looks to have over stamped with another at some point. The marking below the 'V' in the s/n on the receiver is the Tiro a Segno Nazionali marking which means the rifle was above average in the accuracy department and during WWII it was likely issued to.
My brain quit on me.. again. Anyway, two questions. I have a 1939 dated M-38 in 7.35mm that has the crossed rifles stamped into the left side of the chamber area of the barrel. Does this mean that it shot a bit better or that it was a little closer to the blueprints than the others? Next question pertains to my M-41. It has very little in the way of anything stamped on it other than FAT 1947 in the stock, the serial number and the usual 'Made in Italy' on the barrel along with a crown in a square and a small star and what looks like an acorn. I would just like to know what arsenal made it.

A seemingly odd fact has long puzzled me and other collectors of French and Italian rifles. Both nations had armies numbering over a million men in both World Wars I and II. These armies were predominantly infantry and infantrymen are armed with rifles - thus there were certainly over a million French and Italian rifles manufactured. Why, then, are French and Italian sniper rifles apparently absent from collections in this country and even pictures of their soldiers equipped with scope mounted rifles never seen. I have seen two different pictures of French snipers with scoped Lebel 86/93 rifles in trenches but have NEVER seen even one picture of an Italian soldier with a scope mounted rifle.
Dick Hobbs, in his book on the Carcano, states flatly that no telescopically equipped rifles were issued to the Italian Army. He based this statement on his thirty years of collecting data on Carcanos and the fact that he too had never even seen a photo of one in all that time.
Four years ago I was fortunate enough to finally purchase a Lebel sniper to give my collection a representive example of a French sniper rifle (see Issue 61 of the MRJ ) but still had yet to locate or even hear of an Italian example. Then it happened!
6.5 Italian Carcano Serial Numbers
At the last Tulsa Gun Show a man came in carrying a rifle that his next-door neighbor had brought back from his service in W.W. II. It was stated that it came from North Africa and it was accompanied with an Italian pith helmet and a. Fascist Youth Honor Dagger. It was a Model 38 Cavalry carbine in 7.35mm caliber - quite a scarce rifle in itself and one I did not have in my collection. It was in excellent condition, matching, had beautiful bore, an original sling, and the two cleaning rods in the butt trap. Best of all, it had an optically perfect, Beretta made telescopic sniper scope in two left side rail mounted clamp type bases. The scope still had the original rubber eyecup. Could one ask for more? I was not at the show but a friend of mine was and he immediately bought the piece. Happily, he later sold it to me.
