Chinese Warlord C96 Carbine from Taku Naval Dockyard
This video showcases a rare Chinese Warlord-Era C96 Mauser carbine, specifically one manufactured at the Taku Naval Dockyard. The presenter highlights its potential as a fancy sporting or presentation firearm, drawing parallels to original Mauser-produced C96s. Clues like the Nationalist flags on the buttplate suggest a production date in the late 1920s.
