The Italian Benaglia Rifle grenade, a rod-grenade used against the Austro-Hungarians and Germans in WWI. This example is battlefield recovered from the high alpine battlefields, which is one reason it's in such good shape.

Ya know what it really is?

An excuse.

After all, I've got an Italian rod-grenade. But no Italian rifle to display it with. Therefore, a WWI Italian rifle must be acquired, or this will simply be... lacking, bereft, incomplete.

And we can't have that.
