These blank-firing, scaled-down versions of the Carcano Modelo 1891 were designed for younger boys in the ONB, which provided military training. The video highlights the history of the Balilla carbine, noting that over 100,000 were produced between 1931 and 1943. It specifically focuses on examples manufactured by Fratelli Grazian of Verona, detailing unique features like bronze parts and the early model's magazine well bulge, with Fratelli Grazian being the most prolific maker.
