Manufactured c. 1915-1937, with production reportedly significantly disrupted during World War I while Spanish arms manufacturers cranked out handguns for military contracts by the thousands. These carbines were sold commercially in Spain, with many being utilized by police forces, and many were shipped to South America to satisfy a growing market. The standard Garate Anitua address is on top of the barrel along with the "CAL. 44 L" caliber marking, meaning "44 Largo", the Spanish name for .44-40 W.C.F, with "SPI." stamped below it. The tiger trademark is on the left side of the frame, and the serial number is on the bottom. The three-line model marking is on the upper tang. It is fitted with a blade front sight, elevation adjustable Marble's rear sight, saddle ring on the left of the receiver, and sling swivels on the lower barrel band and buttstock. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a trapdoor steel buttplate (cleaning rod not included).

Very fine, retains 85% plus of the original blue finish with some thinning on the barrel bands and 50% of the original case colors with the balance mostly a smooth grey patina and some scattered light spotting. The revarnished wood is fine with some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
