The Type I rifle Arisaka (イ式小銃 I-shiki shōjū) was produced during the early years of World War II
After the invasion of China in July 1937, all Arisaka production was required for use of the Imperial Army, so under the terms of the Anti-Comintern Pact, the Imperial Navy contracted with Italy for this weapon in 1937.[5] The Type I is based on the Type 38 rifle and utilizes a Carcano action, but retains the Arisaka/Mauser type 5-round box magazine.[6] The Type I was utilized primarily by Japanese Imperial Naval Forces.[7] It is chambered for the 6.5 x 50 mm cartridge.[1] Approximately 80,000 Type I rifles were produced in 1938 and 1939, 40,000 manufactured by Beretta and an equal number by Italian government arsenals; the final shipment to Japan left Venice by submarine in 1941.[2][8]
On the collector market in the United States, the Type I rifle is uncommon but not particularly popular among collectors. Since the heritage of the Type I rifle is both Japanese and Italian, it tends to be shunned by collectors of Japanese focus. The Type I never had the Japanese Imperial Chrysanthemum markings, or other markings that typically interest collectors of Japanese militaria.[3] Many Type I rifles brought back to the United States as War Trophies were reportedly captured at Kwajalein Atoll, the Philippines, or from Japan at the conclusion of hostilities
The Type I rifle is a strange hybrid with an interesting history. The Imperial Japanese Army controlled the arsenals that made small arms and got priority in deliveries. When the war in China heated up in 1937, the Imperial Japanese Navy could not get enough domestically-produced rifles from the Army-controlled arsenals, so they went to Europe and looked at foreign sources. They liked German rifles but found them too expensive so they signed contracts with the Czechs and Italians. The Italian order was for 60,000 rifles, half made by RSFAE, one-quarter by Brescia and one-quarter by Beretta. The rifle has a Carcano action but is otherwise configured to look and handle like a Type 38. The calibre is 6.5mm X 50 Arisaka.
The serial numbers on these guns are a letter from A to N followed by four digits. There is some controversy over the number of these rifles that were produced, since the number of letters times 9999 far exceeds the generally-accepted production figure of 60,000. The rifles are almost devoid of any other markings. In particular, there are no Japanese markings on them

Italian Carcano Rifle For Sale
Italian rifles are not my thing and I want to sell the following rifle but I know nothing about these or their value. I got this from my uncle years and years ago but have never shot it since I don't have any ammo.
What I do know is this is a 6.5 carcano. dated 1916 and Terini. It has a stock repair but is in over nice condition with some light frosting in grooves in a few places but excellent rifling. I do not see any import marks on the rifle.
So what do I have and what is it worth?

6.5 Italian Carcano Serial Numbers List
A 6.5 x 52 mm Italian Carcano (sometimes improperly called a Mannlicher-Carcano) M91/38 bolt-action rifle was found on the 6th Floor of the Texas Book Depository by Deputy Constable Seymour. I recently bought a Carcano 6.5. Terni stamped on the barrel, along with SA in a square. I understand that means it was issued to the Finnish Army. On the left side of the barrel is the serial number N2686. Above that is the date 1895. On the right side of the barrel is the date 1939 along with the roman numeral XVII.

The serial-numbered C2766 rifle, sent to Oswald as a surplus advertised 'Italian carbine' in 1963, was a short infantry rifle of this type (though technically not a moschetto carbine model), manufactured for the 6.5×52mm cartridge. This 6.5mm Carcano M91/38 was only manufactured for one year, 1940, and discontinued in favor of a new 6.5mm long rifle, the M91/41, which was made until the end of the war.
