This was the standard Italian rifle in both world wars. It was one of the first rifles to have such a small caliber. It was a bolt-action rifle, with fixed center loader, with 6 rounds in a clip. The Mod.91/38 was derived from the Mod.91 and had a shortened barrel with a 7.35 mm caliber, with fixed 500m aim, and a moveable bayonet.
In all Mod.91 rifle types were: Fucile 91 – Moschetto 91 – Moschetto per T.S. – Moschetto 91/24 – Fucile 91/41 – Fucile 91/38 – Moschetto 91/38 – and the Special Forces Moschetto 91/38 Breda speciale (only a prototype).

I created Comando Supremo: Italy at War in 2000 because of the the limited amount of information on Italian forces in WWII that was available online. Thanks to people like you, this site has grown to what it is today. Thank you for visiting and please bookmark the site!
