C24?
It is one of the Type C24 models, but you will have to be more specific than that. Still locked for you.

C24/58 ?
Numerically close, but not quite there. This particular example was special and, while not mentioned by some of the more popular online resources, it is featured (along with photos) on several other websites.

Still locked for you.

It is the C24/60. (I'll have to check later, but I believe the year was 1914, not 1913.) The point is yours!
