- Serial Numbers The survey form is available to input your serial numbers. The survey is necessarily focused on reworked models that have years and serial numbers in modern script.
- The Karabiner 98k was derived from earlier rifles, namely the Mauser Standardmodell of 1924 and the Karabiner 98b, which in turn had both been developed from the Gewehr 98. Since the Karabiner 98k rifle was shorter than the earlier Karabiner 98b (the 98b was a carbine in name only, a version of Gewehr 98 long rifle with upgraded sights), it was given the designation Karabiner 98 kurz, meaning 'Carbine 98.
- Minor addition which is not directly relevant in this case but might be more generally when looking at Gew98 serials: According to Ball (Mauser Military Rifles of the World 4th ed p 168) the star rifles 'had a numeral suffix as opposed to alpha suffix' he shows a photo of a rifle with what appears to be a 2 stamped under the 4 digit serial.
Model: Gewehr 98 (Gew 98) Serial Number: 3625. Year of Manufacture: 1898 to 1935. Caliber: 8mm Mauser (7.92x57mm) Action Type: Bolt Action, Internal Magazine. Markings: There is no visible import mark. The right side of the receiver, left side of the butt and the bottom metal are each stamped with the serial number, “3625”. Add To the Turkish Mauser Serial Number Database. A database of serial numbers is being maintained as a research project. The basic goal of the research is to identify the high and low serial numbers by model and year. In the last 10 years a good number of books have come out that cover the Imperial era Gewehr98 rifle and its short carbine variation, the Kar.98a, the best known being Dr. Dieter Storz “Rifle & Carbine 98, M98 Firearms of the German Army from 1898 to 1918”.
There was a discussion on the M1903/ A3 page about serial numbers of the Remington M1934 built for Honduras. It seems as if there were only ~3000 built but the serial numbers go higher than 3000. I provided the following info:
' Perhaps the serial number sequence started at 1000. Some countries did not want anyone to calculate how many rifles they had. During WWI the Germans with their Germany Section of the Milsurp Knowledge Library.', BGCOLOR, '#DDDDDD', BORDERCOLOR, '#000000', BORDERWIDTH, '1',FOLLOWMOUSE, 0, OFFSETX, -10, OPACITY, '95', FADEIN, '25', FADEOUT, '25', CLICKCLOSE, true,FOLLOWSCROLL, true, PADDING, 0, BALLOON, 1 ,ABOVE, false, TITLE1, 'Germany - Milsurp Knowledge Library',LINKURL, 'https://www.milsurps.com/content.php?r=123-germany', SHOWCLOSE, 0, BALLOONIMGPATH , 'autolinker/images/balloons/yellow'); microAjax('autolinker/autolinker_stats.php?uid=0&fid=119&t=v&kw=GEW', function (res) {;});'>GEW 98 used a 4 digit system.

Is this a fair description of the GEW numbering system?
Mauser 98 Serial Number Database
The word 'Mauser' can refer either to the German weapons manufacturer, the Mauser-Werke Oberndorf Waffensysteme GmbH, or to the series of bolt-action rifles the Mauser-Werke manufacturered for the German armed forces. Mauser exported their design to several nations, so identification of the nationality of a Mauser rifle is important for collectors. Mauser also manufactured a series of pistols and semi-automatic rifles which are much easier to identify than the ubiquitous m-93 and m-98 series rifles.
Weapon Identification
Examine the rifle for an import stamp located along the barrel; this stamp should state the weapon's caliber, model and country of origin. Many imported rifles are stamped according to federal regulations and that stamp will settle your identification process quickly.
Danzig Gew 98 Serial Numbers
Examine the rifle for any other identifying markings on the receiver and on the stock; the original armorer may have stamped the rifle with markings identifying the factory of manufacture. These markings are often used to identify surplus rifles.
Match the cartridge the rifle fires with a likely country of origin and model. Mauser-pattern bolt-actions were manufactured in countries including Germany, Turkey, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Sweden, Belgium, Argentina and Chile, so the round the rifle fires can help you identify the rifle's origins and model, like the 1891 Argentine, 1909 Argentine, Spanish 1893, Chilean 1895 and the Swedish 1896. Mausers fire 7.65x53mm Argentine/Belgian, the 7x57mm Spanish/Chilean, the 6.5x55mm Swedish and the 7.92x57mm German.
Gew 98 Mauser Markings
Determine whether your rifle is a Gewehr 98k or Karabiner 98k if your rifle fires 7.92x57mm, as these rifles fired 8 mm Mauser. These rifles were the famed standard-issue rifles of the German army through the first and second World Wars; should the rifle have a two- or three-alphanumeric code on the top of the receiver, the rifle is most likely a Gewehr 98k or Karabiner 98k. These numbers are the ordinance codes of German manufacturers.
- If the rifle is not of German manufacture, but clearly uses the Mauser action, use a combination of rifle caliber and receiver markings to determine the country of origin. You may need to use a Mauser rifle identification guide, as the number of Mauser rifle variants is too great to list here.
