The ad:
Part of Australian history from WW2. Italian M38 Carcano rifle made in Terni Arsenal. Bore good with plenty of strong rifling and no major damage to stock, only a few small marks. Postage extra.
Am I missing something? Is this liberal usage of "Australian history", i.e. yes, both Australia and Italy fought in WWII? Or did the Australian troops actually use Carcano rifles?
Little puzzled now about this, so I thought I'd get the braintrust on to it.
