K98 ZF41                                                            

   

 

There are three manufacturers that made the K98/ZF41 system .
Mauser Oberndorf ( byf )
Mauser Borsigwalde ( ar )
Berlin Lübecker Maschinenfabrik ( duv )

Year and maker :  1941 - ar41
                                - duv41

                         1942 - ar42
                                - duv42

                         1943 - ar43
                                - byf43

                         1944 - ar44
                                - byf44
    

                         1945 - byf45

At this moment I have found no proof that Mauser Oberndorf ( byf ) made K98/ZF41  in the year 1941-1942 .
IMO. they started the produktion in the year 1943 .
Someone seen a byf41 with flat base ?

Berlin Lübecker Maschinenfabrik ( duv ) ended production in 1942 .
By the end of 1943 , Mauser Borsigwalde ( ar ) had enden production of completed K98 rifles at the plant . Mauser Borsigwalde ( ar ) did continue to supply limited quantities of receivers marked "ar44" and WaA135.
