Dutch HEMBRUG GEWEER Model 1895 6.5mm Bolt Action MANNLICHER Carbine C&R
World War I & II Infantry Rifle
Here we present a C&R Dutch Hembrug Geweer Model 1895 Bolt Action Mannlicher Carbine, made in 1915 in Hembrug, Zaandam in the Netherlands. The Geweer Model 95, also known to collectors as the Dutch Mannlicher, was the service rifle of the Armed forces of the Netherlands between 1895 and 1940 which replaced the obsolete Beaumont-Vitali M1871/88. At first it was produced by Steyr in Austria for the Dutch, but after 1904, production took place under license at Hembrug Zaandam in the Netherlands. Including the Dutch made examples, the Dutch issued about 470,000 Model 95s.
It chambered the 6.5x53mm Mannlicher cartridge. In the 1880s, the bolt-action rifle was a very innovative firearm. One of the leaders in the design of these guns was a man named Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher. Mannlicher invented a straight pull, bolt action rifle that fed from an internal box magazine. In 1885, Mannlicher combined his efforts with the Austrian Arms Factory company at Steyr and formed the Steyr Mannlicher group to produce a new rifle that fired black powder 8x50R cartridges, the Model 1888. The gun was a success with the Austrian Army, but in 1893 smokeless powder caught on and replaced black powder practically overnight. Thus, the Austrians needed another new gun, and that is when Mannlicher came out with the Model 95.
The Austrian Army issued the Model 95 Steyr and used it with effectiveness in World War I on no less than three fronts. While the army did not fare well during the great war, the soldiers said the Model 95 performed with great effectiveness. After the war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire went away, but the various countries that rose from the ashes, including Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and Rumania all kept their inherited Model 95s around for decades.
