Gewehr. 98. com was created and after a brief absence, to revise and update the website, we have brought it back to its original place within the Military Rifle Journal site. I will briefly cover the history and basic facts about the Gewehr. Karabiner. 98a, however the sites purpose is two fold, one is to support the MRJ and my research into the development and production of the military Modell. German Luger Serial Numbers' title='1918 German Luger Serial Numbers' />Gewehr. Kar. 9. Kar. 9. 8b and Kar. I will answer questions about rifles, however I must have adequate pictures of the rifle and to be upfront about this process, this is a quid pro quo something for something arrangement. I will answer questions about your rifle and in exchange I will use the information to further my research. Since the time the Gewehr. The value of the early research was inconsistent, most of the best information was found on line among a small group of specialist that had formed internet forums on German rifle development, Gunboards in particular. The numerous books that discussed the variations did so in passing usually, none specialized on the variations, and few dealt with the manufacturers, which is the best place to start if you want to understand the rifles. German Luger Serial Numbers' title='1918 German Luger Serial Numbers' />In the last 1. Imperial era Gewehr. Kar. 9. 8a, the best known being Dr. Dieter Storz Rifle Carbine 9. M9. 8 Firearms of the German Army from 1. At the end of the website I will list the best books on the subject, though only Dieter Storz book is entirely dedicated to the subject. It is a translation from German to English, and the translation is not perfect, but it is a very worthwhile book to own and will give a very good outline regarding the rifles development and their history, as its strength lies in the original documents and museum examples he had access too, something not likely to be repeated for another author. Development. The development of the Gewehr. M. 1. 89. 5 and M. Gewehr. 98 would proceed slowly due to the necessity of maintaining the Army of each state with a single modern rifle, which at the time was the Gewehr. All the state arsenals retained capacity to switch to continued production of the Gewehr. German Luger Serial Numbers' title='1918 German Luger Serial Numbers' />There was also the hesitancy of the various states to upgrade to the new Modell. Prussians were going to actually stick with the rifle, as to re equip their armies with the new rifle would be a costly affair. Dr. Storz goes into the details of the early developments and political considerations in his books however we will stay with the actual rifles one is likely to encounter. Before we go further it might be advantageous to provide a list of all the makers and the dates they are known to have manufactured the Gewehr. There were eleven manufacturers altogether, four government arsenals and seven commercial concerns, only two of which were allowed to manufacture the rifle prior to the war. This is because they were the patent holders and held rights to the rifles design The State Arsenals. Prussian Arsenal Spandau 1. Prussian Arsenal Erfurt 1. Prussian Arsenal Danzig 1.

Waffenwerke Oberspree, 1. DWMDWM Berlin 1. The first rifles made were produced by Mauser Oberndorf in 1. It was not until 1. Prussia and the commercial manufacturers patent holders Mauser Oberndorf and Deutsche Waffen Und Munitionsfabriken, Berlin DWM. At first Mauser and DWM would make the Gewehr. DWM in particular would begin very slowly, all their earliest production going the Kaiserliche Marine Imperial German Navy.

Most of the rifles this early were issued to Garde elite Guard Regiments and Colonial forces Kaiserliches Schutztruppe or Imperial Defense Forces, which were deployed in the German African and Pacific colonies. In the early production phase, 1. Prussian state arsenals were the primary manufacturers. They made the vast majority of rifles up through the period when the Kar. Mauser, DWM and the Bavarian state arsenal at Amberg made rifles in rather small numbers by comparison. This would change with the introduction of the Modell. Kar. 9. 8a, whose introduction essentially ended Gewher. Erfurt and Danzig starting in 1. The state arsenal at Spandau would continue without interruption from 1. Gewehr. 98s during this slow period, 1. The only other firm to manufacture the Gewehr. Mauser Oberndorf, whose production can be found every year from 1. Starting in 1. 90. Gewehr. 98 production at the patent holders would increase significantly, Mauser Oberndorf would triple and at DWM it would quadruple x. DWM until 1. 90. 9, when their production dramatically decreased so the firm could focus its resources on production of the P. Luger and MG. 0. DWM would end until 1. By 1. 90. 8 Mauser Oberndorfs production would be severely curtailed, probably due to commercial obligations, but they would continue with small numbers until 1. With the beginning of the war it was clear Germany was desperately short of Modell. Spandau and Mauser Oberndorf were able to dramatically increase production immediately, the state arsenals at Danzig and Amberg also made a good showing the first year, but DWM only made a modest number of Gewehr. During 1. 91. 5 all the firms that were capable of making the Gewehr. Suhl Consortium, three Suhl firms that collectively made Gewehr. CG Haenel, JP Sauer, and VC Schilling and another firm in Suhl that would operate independently of the Consortium, largely for the state of Saxony, Simson Suhl Co. Lastly a new type of company that combined the efforts of the state with private interests, Waffenwerke Oberspree Kornbusch Co. German government and DWM, which naturally meant it was the least effective at producing rifles and suffered from numerous difficulties. While these efforts to bring new manufacturers on line were underway, several other efforts were made to get serviceable rifles to the front lines. Two in particular deserve mention due to the fact they show up in some number. The first were the effort to refurbish old Gewehr. Suhl Consortium firms and the state arsenal at Danzig to be made into new rifles. The receiver being the single most important component, most expensive and labor intensive to manufacture, were recycled at these firms and made into new rifles, this expediency was apparently worthwhile as a significant number have been observed, though exact numbers are impossible to know as the receivers were incorporated within the companies normal production. These rifles are highly prized when found in original matching condition, being so early they are rarely found in upper grades. They can be identified by the addition of the recyclers name and date across the top of the receiver and the acceptance patterns. The second noteworthy expediency is the sterngewehrs star rifles, these rifles are identified by the star across the top of the receiver, and the rifles are generally rifles made of parts that needed extra hand fitting.
