This review from Forgotten Weapons examines a unique Ethiopian modified Gewehr 88 carbine. The rifle, originally a full-length Gewehr 88 Commission rifle manufactured at the Danzig Arsenal in 1894, features a carbine-length barrel but retains a standard rifle nose cap with a side-mounted bayonet lug. Notable modifications include a turned-down bolt handle and Amharic script on the receiver, indicating Ethiopian origin. The absence of the rear sight suggests a simplified 'point and shoot' configuration, adding to its historical intrigue.
