STEYR per il Portogallo Mod. 1896

da quello che ho capito le cose dovrebbero stare cosi'. Nasce come modello 1893 come ordi

nanza ROMENA, in versione fucile per fanteria e carabina corta per cavalleria ed artiglieria.

Nel 1896 i portoghesi si fanno fare la carabina con il loro crest CI , che va a sostituire la CORONA rumena, per il resto i punzoni restano gli stessi. Sul lato sinistro del receiver è impresso STEYR e l'anno di fabbricazione NON IL MODELLO.

Ne prendono 4.000 per la cavalleria, poi nel 1898 altri 4.500 per l'artiglieria.

Questo si dice sul web. Vedi in fondo a tutto quello che ho trovato.

The Romanian Model 1893 Carbine was a shortened version of the M1893 rifle (see FIR 8145) and was introduced in 1903 for use by cavalry and artillerymen. It was a bolt action weapon employing the Mannlicher magazine system, wherein 5-round clips of cartridges were loaded into a fixed magazine. When all 5 had been discharged, the clip dropped out of the bottom of the magazine. The Romanian rifles were chambered for a 6.5mm cartridge.

These Mannlicher type weapons were designed using lessons learned from the Gew.88 rifles. They had straight grip stocks and two barrel bands. Receiver tops were marked Md.1893 beneath the Romanian crown. Stocks were marked with the full crest of Romania

A carbine version (Carabine Md.1893) of the rifle was introduced for cavalry and artillery unit use. Overall length was shortened to 978mm, barrel length was 450mm, and the weight was reduced to 3.29kg.

The manufacturing of carbines started in 1894. While all guns were marked as "Steyr", various parts were made by "Budapest" and marked with an "R".

One of the neatest finds over the past week was this Roumanian-type Steyr M1893 carbine made for Portugal, where it is known as the Model 1896. A total of 8,000 were made according to my Steyr Catalog (circa 1896/7). This one is serial number 715.

=======================================================================
1st in 1896 for 4000 carbines for cavalry and a 2nd in 1898 for 4500 for artillery. There seem to be minor diferences that I ignore...
