Volume 4 of the "Morion Schriftenreihe zu Waffenkunde und Wehrwissenschaften". With this work, the author presents the first comprehensive German-language account of the armament of the Italian army with Model 91 long guns from 1891 to about 1950. He describes the path from the muzzle-loader to the introduction of the multi-loading rifle with package charge, provides basic information on the organisation of the Italian armed forces, makes excursions into the history of war and then devotes himself to the numerous different models of the System 91. He shows manufacturing variants, gives production figures and explains conversions and repairs. Separate chapters are devoted to accessories such as straps and cartridge pouches, as well as to ammunition in 6.5 and 7.35 mm calibres, sidearms and the weapon's stampings.
