I got a question regarding the rifle who can be seen on this picture, the picture is from the book ‘Van Canada tot Dollard tou’ (From Canada until the Dollard) and taken in the North of the Dutch province of Groningen. It’s a German Kriegsmarine Küstenartillerie (Coastal Artillery) soldier who awaits his Canadian opponents. I know that people have found numerous types of cartridges in that area variable from the usual German ammo until Dutch, Russian and even Italian. The rifle in the picture sure isn’t from German origin but looks to be from the wide Mannlicher range of rifles, question is which one?, to me it either looks to be a Carcano M91 or the Dutch Mannlicher M95, what do you think?, thanks in advance.
