Here is a listing for a Mannlicher M1890 'Cavalry Carbine' made by OWGS with the 'circle T' stamp:

And this: http://thinlineweapons.com/Hungariae/Markings.htm
So at least as early as 1891-96.
Seems to pretty well debunk the idea that (except on Czech arms?) the ‘circled T’ mark is useful for dating arms as post WWI.
