    Libya 1914 - What kind of rifle for native troops?


    Recommended Posts

    I want to add a bayonet (and maybe a rifle) to my growing display centered around my Al Valore Militare to the ix Eritrean battalion for Libya 1914. I figured since my man won it for leading a bayonet charge, it would be cool to display it with a bayonet. Would an ascari in 1914 have been armed with a Vetterli 1870/87 or a Carcano 1891? Whichever it was were the bayonets or rifles issued to African units marked in any special way?
