1936 Dated Italian Carcano presentation grade carbine in 6.5mm caliber with breech marked “Gardonee”, S/N 18914 and 1936 XIV. The barrel measures 18” and 36” overall. Gold and nickel plated with light engravings on eachside of the magazine. The stock is a light color wood wit a select grain that is carved in florals and scrolls with a panel at the rear of the right butt stock inlaid with a cross inscribed “Merito Di Guerra” and thecypher “V.E. III”. (Victor Emmanuel). The crown on top of the cross removed possibly in Mussolini era. 80%-90% old nickel and gold plating showing some erosion that may clean from storage and lack of cleaning. VictorEmmanuel was king of Italy from 1900-1946 and during WWII era. We have seen 2 other somewhat similar presentation carcanos. 1 presented by the count of Abruzzi. Good mechanically and bore is good. (C&R) Est.:$600-$1200
