In my previous post, I stated that the model1891 long rifles are found ,dated from 1891 to 1918...... then a small number made in the early 1930s.

As with all things CARCANO, I WAS IN GREVIOUS ERROR!!!!! just a few days ago, I saw a model 1891 ,photos actually, dated on the barrel flat 1929.
on top flat TERNI, and on another barrel flat, B 9926. (serial # )
I hope my error has not caused anyone to run naked,screaming in the streets over the Christmas season....if so I beg forgiveness.
