Today we are looking at a second Chinese Warlord-Era C96 Mauser carbine. These were made as fancy sporting or presentation arms for important people - just as the original Mauser-made C96 carbines were. This example was made at the Taku Naval Dockyard, a facility initially set up to maintain the Beiyang Fleet but which expanded into arms production. Based on the pair of Nationalist flags on the buttplate, this was most likely made in the late 1920s.

Are you implying the Germans couldn't engineer a way to put a serial number on a curved surface? Eine solche Herausforderung gibt es nichtI

way nicer than the pistols. at least nicer looks to it.

I am shocked to learn that “Mauser did not put serial numbers on the rear sight”. I thought Germans put a serial number wherever there was a flat surface.
