I was feeling wistful this morning and thinking about a M1894 SRC I let go years ago – probably 40 years ago. It was a .25-35, plain in all respects except for special order side mounted swivels (like the so-called, “Belgian Congo” carbine swivels). I have never seen another carbine with these swivels. When I let it go, I scarcely realized I’d never see another. Maybe I’ll feel better when you all respond with something to the effect of, “oh, I have several”). So, what is our experience with this special order feature? Does anyone here have one? Anyone have photos of one? Anyone have the one I had?

Steve,
I have never seen them on a commercial sales Model 1894 SRC. The French Contract (WW I) Model 1894 Carbines had them.

Bert –
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, my wistfulness is even stronger. I am that confident the carbine was the real deal. By the way, I previously had a French contract 1894 SRC in my collection.
Steve,
Do you remember what the serial number was on it?
