The next model Carcano made was the M91TS or Truppe Speciale. Certain military jobs like courier, artillery, fortress troops, transportation etc. needed a shorter weapon, so this model was made. In the beginning, they took a special "side mount" bajonet. This was not a sturdy system at all, and many were converted to take the standard M91 "push on" bajonet.

Forgot to add - the '67' on the stock is a rack number... possibly police. After the war, police departments were issued M91TS with worn out barrels. These were used as tear gas grenade launchers. For some reason, most of these were given a phosphate (parkerized) finish. I have 2 in my collection and both have real sewer pipes for barrels.
