I bought this rifle for $100 at a pawn shop yesterday just for the heck of it. The pawn shop said it was an 1895 dutch rifle, but i thought those were all straight pull rifles and this one is a turn bolt. It does have the same markings as the dutch rifles. I'm hoping someone here is more knowledgeable than I and can help me better identify what I have here.

All of the Dutch mannlichers were turn bolt. Only the Austrian mannlichers were straight pull.
With the bent bolt, bayonet lug and lack of a handguard it appears to be an engineers carbine.

Cool guns. I have a long rifle and a No 5 carbine
