I’ve been looking for information on the Carcano rifles particularly the “Italy’s Battle Rifle”, but it’s been out of print for a while and I haven’t been able to find a reasonably priced copy. I ran across another very nice book while perusing fleabay a while back. It’s titled “The Model 1891 Carcano Rifle, A Detailed Development & Production History” by Giovanni Chegia & Alberto Simonelli, with Ralph Riccio. It has 320 pages, lots of color and black & white photos & drawings, and at about $50 seemed like a good deal to me. I got it from shootinggallerybooks and they have lots of other books that would be of interest to surplus collectors.
