These carbines were returned from Italy. Zogno is a small town about 35 miles northeast of Milano. The number is either the weapon number, or the unit number. The CC is probably an abbreviation for Carabinieri, which is the Italian National Police, similar to our FBI only most of them are uniformed. They are the agency that deals with everything under national jurisdiction including intelligence, and organized crime.

I haven't been to the town, but lived in northern Italy for amost 7 years, and spent my last two years while in the Army as a tactical liaison and the American communications chief with the Italian Air Force on a Nike Hercules air defense missile base. Seems like a hundred years ago, but I left there in Jan '88
