If it's made in or before 1898, it is. In the US.

Depends on the date of manufacture. Ask the milsurp thread.

Ok then it has to be legal since they stopped putting the Loewe Berlin badge on the gun since 1886

>I had this gun for a while now and I just want to know if it is counted as an antique weapon.
The M1895s marked with "Ludwig Loewe & Co." are considered antiques, because LL&Co. became Deutsche Waffen-und Munitionsfabriken on January 1st 1897.

The short rifle like that was really more meant for artillerymen, MPs, engineers and the like; the actual M1895 cavalry carbine is even shorter and has a ladder-type rear sight.

I have one and it was made in 1896.

My mistake, I thought that the engineers had the shortest version and cavalry had the mid sized one. My Argentine bayonet fits the lug.

Ain't that a cut little gun.
