Erickson & Pate summarized a C96 "Scarcity Chart", which I bet that they did not count C96s imported from China in 1980s, just based on instances pre-existed before 1980s. Very useful, here it is.

25x: Step-barreled Conehammer
20x: 20-Shot Pistol
15x: System Mauser (tapered barrel), Carbine
10x: 6-Shot Pistol

4x: Non-reinforced Conehammer (10-shot), Italian Navy, Persian, 8.15mm
3x: Fixed-sight Conehammer (10-shot), Early Transitional Small Ring, Prewar Bolo (10-shot), Long-Barrel Bolo
2.5x: Standard Conehammer, Standard Flatside, Banner, 9x25, French Gendarme, Schnellfeuer

Collecting C96, the biggest trouble is availability. Even "2x Large Ring Transitional" does not appear often on the US gun market.
