Hi Guys,
Just came across this relic. I've found some info on it on the web, but I'm sure I can get better info here. On the receiver it's stamped "MIDA BRESCIA", also a big "18", and "L 1296". Also the letters "RP" in a small oval in several places.
The stock has an inked(?) old oval with a tail on it that's unreadable, and DEEP grooved lettters/numbers that to the best of my ability say "2L8, then 1890", but it's hard to make out, could be about anything.

Anyway, is this worth keeping or selling? What would this thing bring to a collector if anything?
I'm mostly into handguns so any info you can provide would be appreciated!
Thanks! Steve W.
