Hey there folks. So I figure I have a Carcano. I was trying to pinpoint the exact model but don't feel comfortable doing so myself based off of what I'm seeing and reading so wondered if anyone here could look at it and know exactly what it was. Thanks so much!

    It's a Model 1891, Special Troops Carbine. The bayonet & bayonet lug are of a very unique pattern. I believe it was only used on this particular model.

    The one that killed Kennedy was a latter model Carcano Carbine. I believe either the Model 1891/24 or Model 1891/28. Below is a photo off the net of the Carcano that killed Kennedy. You can tell from the bayonet mount the difference between the earlier and later carbines.
