Well, It's not an M38, looks to be a heavily sportered M41. Unfortunately that kills any collector value as well as the whatever premium the TSN marking would have added to it.
Are those rounds 6.5 Carcano or 6.5 MS ? Just trying to sort whether the English proofs contain a typo or if it has sure enough been converted.

Vinatge Hunter is correct. That seems to be a Fucile 91/41, probably reworked post-war (hence the discrepancy between butt and barrel numbers), sporterized and rechambered to 6.5x54 Mannlicher-Schoenauer with British civilian proof for use as a hunting rifle. The M-S is a good cartridge, but is now probably more difficult to find than Carcano ammo (which is made by PRVI).
Looks fine. Value zilch.

6.5x54 is just about as easy as Carcano ammo as it is made by Prvi also. You may have to order it online but it is available and not expensive. I had it confused with 6.5x54 Dutch just a short while ago.
