As things progressed, the GPK became disillusioned with this technical approach, and so a rather strange hybrid of ideas took shape. To this extent, production machinery was ordered from the Ludwig Loewe Company of Berlin-Charlottenburg in December, 1887. Initially, the idea was to revise the Mauser Gewehr 71/84 to use a small caliber smokeless powder round based on the old 11mm black powder Reichspatrone. In this rather charged atmosphere, the German Gewehr Prfungs Kommission (GPK - Rifle Testing Commission) went to work. Now, the Lebel, which used a tubular magazine located under the barrel was not a particularly noteworthy design, but the power and flat trajectory of the new French 8mm round far outclassed the 11mm Reichspatrone black powder round used in the contemporary German infantry rifle, the Mauser 71/84. Why? Because the Lebel was the world's first small bore military rifle using an efficient smokeless powder cartridge. There was an immediate reaction in German military circles bordering on hysteria. In 1886, the French Army unveiled the Modelle 1886 "Lebel" rifle. Rare 1892 dated Mauser Kar 88 Carbine, only 37" in overall length, federally classified as an antique due to its pre-1898 manufacture date.
During the Great War cavalry was quickly becoming a thing of the past once trench warfare was introduced.īy WW2 the Germans had adopted the Mauser 98K Rifle, again in the improved 7.92mm caliber, this rifle was shorter than the Gew 98, longer than the carbine, and became the standard. It was superceded in 1898 with the introduction of the Gew 98 rifle also in an updated version of the same caliber and many 88s were updated and then marked with a small "S" on the receiver ring to indicate it could be used with the upgraded ammunition.īoth the Mauser Model 88 and 98 rifles and carbines saw extensive use in WWI. This little carbine used an integral 5 shot box magazine and was extremely popular. In 1892 this was cutting edge technology as the Gewehr 1888 Mauser rifles and carbines were the first to use the 7.92mm cartridge that replaced the 10.4mm used in the Mauser 1871/84 tubular magazine rifles. We unfortunately were not able do decipher this particular marking, leaving this as an interesting research opportunity. The muzzle fitting however is still marked, and shows B. There was originally a regimental marking stamped onto the middle barrel band, however this was X'ed out. It bears an S marked over the chamber to indicate modification for the S-PATRONE cartridge introduced in 1903 (we do not recommend firing the S-cartridge in this carbine). This short carbine was intended for use by cavalry units. The carbine has an 18" barrel and a good bore with clear land and grooves, though the rifling is somewhat worn. The stock has been sanded a bit, but has a lovely color, retaining a lot of the proof marks.

in German blackface type, and there are additional proof marks on various components of the carbine. All parts of the gun that we can see bear serial number 5362 / h or shortened number 62, making this a rare "ALL-MATCHING" example of this desirable carbine.
