We predict this rifle to be a 1920s model, but are not 100 sure (calculated by looking up proof markings on gun).

Large Ring Hammers with 14.5 barrels and conventional (non-Flatside).

The vast majority (at least nine out of ten, probably more) extant today are reproductions or replicas - extensive reworks of original Mauser pistols - made long after Mauser itself gave up on the carbine design.

Only about 1100 were made, all of them before the start of the Stable Production Period.

Oddly enough, most of those were Flatsides - note that Cone Hammer pistols appeared with Flatside frames only on special order.

Most Carbines to that point had 11.75 inch barrels.

The standard barrel length then increased to 14.5 inches.

Something around 600 Large Ring Hammers with conventional (non-flat) frames and the new longer barrels were made, followed by about 140 Small Ring Hammers with the same barrels and, of course, conventional frames.

A considerable number seem to have been converted in China about twenty years ago, and were sold in the US by, mainly, Navy Arms.

Navys sales literature signified reproductions or replicas by putting the name in quotes - i.e., Mauser Carbine signified a conversion of something else into a gun which looked a bit like an original Mauser Carbine.

So Navy was flogging replicas, not actual fakes, although exactly what the customer was buying could have been stated a bit more clearly.

But today, far too many of these Mauser Carbines are being sold as Mauser originals.

The major difference is that the repros are worth something in the low three figures, versus the low five figures for originals.

This is to avoid the National Firearms Acts special treatment of short-barrelled rifles.

In the US, a rifle (defined as a rifled shoulder arm) with a short barrel must be registered as an NFA Weapon, which involves a bunch of forms and a 200 transfer tax.

See the Firearms Curios or Relics List, 1972-2001, Sec.

III. However, fake or replica Carbines, being new guns (even if built partially of old parts), are not excluded from the NFA.

That is why the replicas have barrels over 16 inches in length.

This example has been refinished at some stage in it sic life (note, nothing about repro or replica), the verdict is - fake.

But enough clues are visible to determine that its not a real Mauser-made Carbine at all.
