Some time around serial number 162,500 the right side of the slide is stamped “Mauser 7.65”. Around serial number 277,000 the milled panel on the frame was discontinued. 1910/14 model, this variation was manufactured between 1921 to 1928 with a serial number range between 221800 to 345000. Does any Mauser Model 1934 collector have the number of mausers produced each year 1934-1940? If anyone does, do you also have the serial numbers for that year? Hyster s50ft repair manual. I know I am asking the improbable. The Gew 98 action was the final product of several years of development and earlier Mauser designs such as the Model 1889, 1893, and 1896 rifles. The Gew 98 proved to be a reliable weapon but it.

German WW2 Ordnance Codes forMilitary Rifles
![Serial Serial](https://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii203/ddworkm/DSC_0200_zpse182e39e.jpg)
German WW2-era military rifles usually have markings on the receiver,barrel, rear sight, and stock, from which one can get some informationabout the history of the piece.
The top of the receiver (that part of the barrel into which the boltshoves the cartridge) usually has a 2- or 3-letter code with a numberbelow it. (Early codes were sometimes numerical or a combination ofletters and numbers.) The code indicates the manufacturer of thereceiver, and the number below the code is the year in which the part wasmade. Other markings are usually either proof marks (indicating that thebarrel was test fired with cartridges loaded with a larger charge ofgunpowder than normally used to ensure safety) or Waffenamt (ordnancedepartment) markings, indicated by the symbol of an eagle withoutstreached wings with the letters WaAxxx below, where xxx is a 2- or3-digit number indicating which Waffenamt accepted the piece.
The following table lists the ordnance codes found in Mauser BoltRifles by L. Olson (third edition, F. Brownell & Son, 1976, 12thprinting 1991). They can be used to get some historical information aboutyour particular rifle.
These codes may apply to German pistols of the same era, but I have noinformation about that.
As always, I'm not responsible for any inaccuracies in Olson's data, justfor the transcription. Please report any errors to me.
