Deactivated Italian Carcano M38 carbine, 1940 dated **SOLD**
Deactivated Italian Carcano M38 carbine, 1940 dated **SOLD**
This is the Model 38 carbine developed originally by Salvatore Carcano in 1890 in Italy, and produced from 1891 till 1945 in various forms. It was used by Italian forces during WW1 and both German and Italian forces in WW2, and gained infamy for being the weapon that was used to assassinate John F. Kennedy. Initially chambered for a 6.5mm round, and loaded via a 6-round 'en-bloc' clip, a 7.35mm version was introduced in 1938 and designated the M38, to address the shortcomings of the 6.5mm weapon. With the onset of WW2, more rapid production was found easier with the 6.5mm weapon and ammunition, so M38 production ceased in 1940. On this example, the original hardwood furniture is in very good authentic condition with just the odd knocks, matching serial number on butt, with the steel retaining most of it's original blacked finish. Dated 1940 on the right side of the breech, with the armoury mark Terni on the top. Able to cock and dry-fire and fully strip, and comes with leather sling and one original cleaning rod which stows in the butt, but inert rounds not included. Deactivated in the UK with Certificate to UK/EU specification.
