The Salvator-Dormus M1893, also known as the Škoda M1893, was an Austro-Hungarian heavy machine gun designed by Archduke Karl Salvator of Austria and Georg von Dormus and manufactured by Škoda Works in Plzeň. It was chambered for the 8×50mmR Mannlicher cartridge and used a water-cooled barrel and an overhead magazine. The weapon entered production in the 1890s and was later supplemented and replaced in Austro-Hungarian service by newer machine guns, including the Schwarzlose MG M.07/12.
The M1893 incorporated an adjustable mechanism that allowed its cyclic rate of fire to be regulated between approximately 180 and 250 rounds per minute. It was used by Austro-Hungarian forces during the Boxer Rebellion, including during the defence of the Austro-Hungarian legation in Peking in 1900. Contemporary photographs show the weapon mounted on tripods and naval landing carriages, indicating that it was used in more than one mounting configuration.
