I have a new project to work on and I have some questions

Perhaps some experts out there can help me:

I have a gun that was made in or around 1916, it has the model 1893 designation (as opposed to the later model 93) and a "C" prefix on the serial number.
In addition it has what appears to be an import stamp from Century Arms International (CAI STABLVT).

Did Marlin send any model 1893s to Europe during WWI? Do I have a potential WWI surplus lever action?
