Help identify Italian Vetterli 10.4 caliber, model? pic heavy
32" Barrel, has # 100 all over bolt, mag well and on top of receiver. Has number 268 on left side of barrel and 268 on buttplate. Has 1883 on left side of barrel and 1889 on buttplate. I can't find one with that type of bolt and numbers. The left side notch is a cartridge cutoff to use as single shot. Looks like 10.4 caliber. ANY help before I list this will be appreciated bigly. 😊

Model 1871/88 Beaumont Infantry rifle. Made in 1883 as a single shot then upgraded to the Vitali magazine system some time after 1888. The buttplate and stock were probably replaced at that time, thus the different dates and numbers. The gun is chambered in 11.3X52R (43 Beaumont).
