@IridiumRedTheOrigina When your neighbour is Russia and you're not a member of any big alliance you quickly realise that "If necessity is the mother of all invention scarcity is surely it's father" :P

@jon2067 Perhaps Finnish sayings about rifles produced in Terni never made it back to Terni because Italians don't care about Finnish sayings?

@jon2067 He did not say it is a joke in Terni. He said it's a joke about Terni (in reference to the fact that "Terni" is the nickname for Carcano 7.35mm in Finland).

@Simon_Nonymous I have stolen it myself, so I can hardly blame you :P

Just wait until someone asks a really deep and interesting question about a French rifle... I wouldn't even blink if Ian travelled to the correct location to answer the question in situ! :P

Keep hanging on to it. They're getting rarer and rarer, and not many were ever produced. It may not reach big-dollar value in your life time, but it could end up being a game changer for your grand kids.

Sounds about right... but also: if most of that ammo was produced just to fulfil the order that got Italy rid of them... "Someone" might not take the same care as if they were going to produce for their own military.

Being a good presenter is key. There's a channel called Curious Droid, and he's the same. He's done videos on battleships, satellites, paper mills, phone boxes, etc, and they're all incredibly interesting for no other reasons than the impeccable research and delightfully good presentation. I've said, kind of tongue in cheek, on other videos that I don't care if Ian one day wants to start talk about cast iron wood fired stoves specifically from the 1890 to 1920 era... I'll listen to every word and have a good time.

If I woke up tomorrow, in combat, with an Italian service rifle, I would try to whack myself over the head with it to see if that could make me wake up from the nightmare.
