1902 Carbine

One paragraph in "Luger Story" (Walter, 2001) captured my attention. Page 128:

"Old Models had stopped in the region of 25500. They reached the low 70000s by August 1914; after 1909, however, a few 9mm carbines and commercial derivatives of the Pistole 1908 were also included."

The book did not reveal the source of the information. Nor the detail of those carbines. Sounds like New Model 9mm in the context.
