This scarce revolving carbine is based on the same design as the first model solid frame C78 Zig-Zag revolvers. The rifled barrel has a dovetailed blade front sight, two-leaf rear sight, "GEBR. MAUSER & CIE OBERNDORF A/N. WURTTEMBERG 1878" marked on top, and a sling swivel eye on the bottom. The matching serial number "34" is marked on several components. The stock has a checkered wrist and a sling swivel.

Good with traces of period refinished blue and otherwise mottled artificial gray patina over mild pitting and otherwise crisp markings. The repaired and re-oiled stock is also good and has most of the recut checkering, some gaps at the upper and lower tang, and mild wear. Mechanically fine.
