I know the earlier Model 71 and 71/84 blackpowder Mausers had cut-offs.
I cannot think of any smokeless powder Mauser that had a cut-off but I am sure some country placed an order for a model with that feature at sometime.
Because the Mauser smokeless powder rifles could be clip loaded or loaded with individual cartridges as needed, I believe the Mauser brothers didn't feel a cut-off feature was required or neccessary in their smoless powder designs.
according to this site: http://www.turkmauser.com/93/ 1893 Turkish Mausers did have a cut-off, but many were removed at some point in the future (during re-arsenal in the 30's would be my guess.).Mine doesn't have the cut-off.
