So today while perusing the local gunstore that I don't like, I went behind counter while owner was eating and talking fishing.
Found a Carcano, which I knew. Labeled Russian/7mm Jap, which of course it isn't. $75. I offer $50 and take it out the door.
The SA stamp I pretty much had ideas about: it was lent to Finland by Mussolini. XVII means 17th year of Mussolini reign, so 1941? Other markings are FDNI and a crown. Stock doesn't have handguard but doesn't look cut down.
I'll try to get pics.
