I have a few questions. Can someone help me identify the model, year this rifle was made, and what "f.a.g. 40" means? (Ive been a little self conscious about that marking on the stock).

Also can someone explain why so many cavalry carbines are missing the spike bayonet? You never see SKSs missing their bayonets so why are they gone on Carcanos?

Thanks
