This book is a complete history of the Italian Model 1891 Carcano rifle and variants that served as Italy's standard service rifle in World War I and World War II.

Profusely illustrated, extensive appendices list serial numbers, production totals, inspection procedures, ammunition types, ammunition clips, ammunition boxes and packaging, ballistics data, accoutrements, and the Model 1891 as used by Italy's national marksmanship association.
