The mauser is exceptional. It is a 1894 carbine that was not convert to the M94/14 configuration. The disk in the stock indicates that it was assigned to the Northern Naval District. The carbine was probably imported into the US in the early 1950's by Pasadena Firearms which had to extend the muzzle to 18 inches since it was considered to be too short at the time for import. That carbine was not built as a M94/14 even though in 1916 it would have been. About 75% of the carbines were converted to the M94/14 configuration with the bayonet lug. The stock is beech which is the wood used at the time as Frenchicon and Turkishicon Walnut was not obtainable due to WWI raging on in Europe and the Middle East. The carbine could easily go for $1,200 US dollars or more.
