The '''Model 1888 Commission Rifle''', best known under the German name '''Gewehr 88''', was the German Empire's response to the French adoption of the [[Lebel 1886]]. It was designed by the German Army's Rifle Testing Commission, and combined elements of Mauser and Mannlicher rifle design. It fed from a Mannlicher-type 5-round single-column magazine loaded with an en-bloc clip. The bolt featured two opposing lugs on the front of the bolt body, with the bolt handle forming a safety lug. The barrel was covered with a tubular steel jacket that threaded onto the receiver ring, with a ladder-type rear sight. The cartridge designed for the rifle was the Gewehrpatrone-1888 7.9x57mmI, predecessor to the 7.9x57mmIS Mauser. It featured a 225gr round-nose bullet .318" in diameter.
 
In 1905 the German Army adopted the Gewehrpatrone-1905 with a 154gr-spitzer bullet .323" in diameter. To supplement the [[Gewehr 98]], many Gew.88 rifles were converted to safely fire the P.05 cartridge. The magazine was modified to feed from Mauser stripper clips. These rifles were referred to as Gew.88/05.
 
Turkey purchased large numbers of Gew.88 rifles during the First World War. These rifles remained in service with the Turkish Republic, and many were modified during the 1930's update program. The barrel jackets were removed, and a tangent-leaf sight and wooden handguard fitted. The straight-grip stock was replaced with a pistol-gripped stock, and an M93-type bayonet lug to mount the standard Turkish bayonet. These conversions are designated Gew.88/05/35, 1935 being the first year of conversion.
 
An unlicensed copy of the Gew.88 was adopted by the Qing Dynasty for their Newly Created Army in 1895. This rifle was produced at the Hanyang Arsenal as Type-88 rifle, and would serve Imperial, Nationalist, and Communist forces all the way through to the end of the Chinese Civil War. In 1904 the design was modified, and the Gew.88's tubular barrel shroud and ladder-type rear sight were eliminated and a Mauser-style tangent-leaf sight and half-length handguard were substituted.

Hanyang 88 - 7.92x57mm Mauser. This weapon saw service in the Sino-Japanese wars and the Chinese Civil War.

The Model 1888 Commission Rifle, best known under the German name Gewehr 88, was the German Empire's response to the French adoption of the Lebel 1886. It was designed by the German Army's Rifle Testing Commission, and combined elements of Mauser and Mannlicher rifle design. It fed from a Mannlicher-type 5-round single-column magazine loaded with an en-bloc clip. The bolt featured two opposing lugs on the front of the bolt body, with the bolt handle forming a safety lug. The barrel was covered with a tubular steel jacket that threaded onto the receiver ring, with a ladder-type rear sight. The cartridge designed for the rifle was the Gewehrpatrone-1888 7.9x57mmI, predecessor to the 7.9x57mmIS Mauser. It featured a 225gr round-nose bullet .318" in diameter.

In 1905 the German Army adopted the Gewehrpatrone-1905 with a 154gr-spitzer bullet .323" in diameter. To supplement the Gewehr 98, many Gew.88 rifles were converted to safely fire the P.05 cartridge. The magazine was modified to feed from Mauser stripper clips. These rifles were referred to as Gew.88/05.

Turkey purchased large numbers of Gew.88 rifles during the First World War. These rifles remained in service with the Turkish Republic, and many were modified during the 1930's update program. The barrel jackets were removed, and a tangent-leaf sight and wooden handguard fitted. The straight-grip stock was replaced with a pistol-gripped stock, and an M93-type bayonet lug to mount the standard Turkish bayonet. These conversions are designated Gew.88/05/35, 1935 being the first year of conversion.

An unlicensed copy of the Gew.88 was adopted by the Qing Dynasty for their Newly Created Army in 1895. This rifle was produced at the Hanyang Arsenal as Type-88 rifle, and would serve Imperial, Nationalist, and Communist forces all the way through to the end of the Chinese Civil War. In 1904 the design was modified, and the Gew.88's tubular barrel shroud and ladder-type rear sight were eliminated and a Mauser-style tangent-leaf sight and half-length handguard were substituted.
