If I'm not mistaken, the object in the upper right corner looks just like the anchor mark on one of my Mannlicher Carcano M1891/24 TS (Truppe Special) 6.5 m/m short rifles. The mark on the rifle indicates issue to the "San Marcos", the members of the Italian Navy's Marine Corps. If this mark is the same, you have a pretty neat accessory. Can you post a well-lit close-up of the mark?

If I am not mistaken it looks VERY much like a PB made front sight adjusting tool for the M1 garand or the BM-59
Probably wrong
