In a series of memorials, General fo Suiyuan Cheng ordered 1200 Mod.04 rifles and 500 cavalry carbines between 19. I cannot tell what purpose of these rifles for. German colony government located in a port city Qing Dao, Shang Dong province. Mauser's 1904 annual report noted 1000 Mod.04 were delivered to "uberseeische Regierunf/ China/ zu liefern", literately means colony government in China. Following are the known contracts I've discovered.Īccording to Mauser's 1929 Inventory Book, some spare parts of 7.9 Cal "Inf Gewehr Chine Mod.04" were still left in Mauser's inventory. Because of scarce original documents, we do not have a precise number.
These orders usually are in very small quantities. Before China adopted Mod.07, miscellaneous models of Mauser rifle were sold to China from 1894 to 1907.
