NOTE:

Danish Model 1889

This rifle was developed by Ole Krag and Eric Jorgensen. It used a single forward bolt locking lug plus a bolt guide rib. Chambered for the 8x58Rmm cartridge, the rifle was fitted with a 33" barrel with full stock and no pistol grip. The barrel is fitted with a full-length metal handguard. A flush loose-loaded box magazine was used. The bolt handle was straight. There were a number of different carbine versions but all of these were full stocked and fitted with 23.5" barrel with bayonet lugs on all but one variation: the artillery carbine (see below). These guns are marked prior to 1910 “GEVAERFABRIKEN KJOBENHAVN” [date] over “M89” on the left side of the receiver. Approximately 140,000 of these rifles and carbines were manufactured prior to 1930. During the German occupation in WWII, the Germans reintroduced the rifle for its own use.
