Beretta Gardone ~ M91 ~ 6.5 CAR

This Beretta Gardone M91 Carcano rifle, chambered in 6.5 Carcano and bearing serial number A6328, remains in good surplus condition for its age. The rifle retains a solid wood stock with handling marks and finish wear consistent with military service and long-term storage. The metal components show an attractive arsenal-refinished appearance, and the rifle includes its original folding bayonet assembly, a highly desirable feature that enhances both collectibility and historical appeal. Manufactured by Beretta Gardone in 1935, as indicated by the receiver marking "1935-XIII". This Model 91 Carcano was part of Italy's standard military armament before and during World War II. Designed by Salvatore Carcano and adopted in 1891, the M91 earned a reputation as a rugged, reliable service rifle.
