In the early 1930's the Greeks altered about 3,000 M1907/15 Berthier Rifles to Carbines and also altered bayonets for these Carbines.
Here is one of the altered rifles that was made into a carbine. It still retains it's straight bolt and there is a different number #3226 stamped on the right side of the barrel as well as the serial number on the left. I had no idea what it was when I bought it but had posted it on another forum and it was I'd as a Geek conversion. Ray
