Without purchasing some pricey documentation, I can't seem to find the number of slab-side 1895's manufactured as carbines.
One unconfirmed source mentioned that approximately 13% of the first 60K 1895's were carbines. This would put this gun at around 1 in 500 if true with the Type 1's. It's chambered in 30-40.
I'm sure I overpaid for it as the original bluing is only about 5% and it has an aftermarket Redfield sight, but I was in the market and had the cash. I have a Blue Book of Guns on the way, but I'm not very optimistic. I probably should have purchased one of the 1895 specific books instead.
